Quotes4

  • Karen McCluskey: Here's the big news. Parker offered me a fudgesicle if I would show him my vagina. Oh, good god, Lynette, relax. I didn't do it. I just got this out of the freezer a second ago.
  • Lynette: Uh, yeah. Of course, no, sorry.
  • Karen McCluskey: Apparently, Parker wanted to put a sunflower seed inside me and see if a baby would grow. Where do kids get this stuff?
  • Lynette: Oh, that was me. He was asking about the birds and the bees and I fudged a few of the details. Well, he's only seven years old. I don't think he needs to know everything yet. I don't wanna rob him of his innocence.
  • Karen McCluskey: Well, now, that's where you're wrong. You get 'em when they're young. Give 'em all the gory details. And then when they're good and disgusted, you shame 'em.
  • Lynette: Excuse me?
  • Karen McCluskey: You tell them sex is dirty and wrong and he shouldn't talk about it and if he does, he's going straight to hell.
  • Lynette: That is ridiculous.
  • Karen McCluskey: Spoken like a true liberal idiot.
  • Lynette: No, I am not going to shame my son.
  • Karen McCluskey: Mm, I'm telling ya, it works. It keeps people in their place, it keeps parents from being humiliated, and it keeps me from having to spend the afternoon talking about my woo-woo.
  • Mrs. Pate: Yesterday afternoon, Parker offered a cookie to Cindy Lou Peeples if she would show him her vagina.
  • Lynette: What kind of cookie?
  • Mrs. Pate: What does that matter?
  • Lynette: Oh, it doesn't. I'm just stalling because I am completely mortified.
  • Lynette: [Parker is coloring] Sweety could you put the crayons down for a second, we need to talk. I talked to your teacher today and she told me about the cookie deal you made with Cindy Lou.
  • Parker Scavo: Oh, are you mad?
  • Lynette: [laughs uncomfortably] No, not exactly, I'm trying to understand why you did that.
  • Parker Scavo: [Innocently] Tommy Keenan told me babies come from down there, that doesn't sound right to me.
  • Lynette: Well, actually he's kinda right, he's got the concept down.
  • Parker Scavo: [Innocently confused] That's weird! How does a baby get in there?
  • Lynette: Daddy will be home from his business trip in a few days, why don't you wait for him?
  • Parker Scavo: OK. Or I can ask Tommy's brother. He's fourteen and he knows everything!
  • Lynette: [Parker looks skeptical as Lynette draws a picture] ... And then the mommy and the dadd because they love each other so much, they hug real tight, and a seed is magically implanted and nine months later a baby is born.
  • Parker Scavo: What kind of seed?
  • Lynette: Oh, that's not important.
  • Parker Scavo: I don't believe you!
  • Lynette: Parker I'm your mother. Mother's don't lie to their sons. Now go wash your hands or Santa's not gonna bring you anything for Christmas.
  • Lynette: I talked to Mrs. McCuskey and for God sakes Parker, you can't ask people things like that.
  • Parker Scavo: Why?
  • Lynette: [Grasping for straws] Because, it's rude.
  • Parker Scavo: I said please!
  • Lynette: That doesn't matter. You gotta quit talking to people about their bodies, and about where babies come from.
  • Parker Scavo: Why?
  • Lynette: Because it's not an appropriate subject.
  • Parker Scavo: Why?
  • Lynette: Because it's not.
  • Parker Scavo: Why?
  • Lynette: Ahh, because it's dirty and wrong and I'll wash your mouth out with soap, that's why!
  • [he looks shocked]
