Sister, Sister (1994–1999): Season 3, Episode 19 - Summer Bummer - full transcript
Tamera takes Tia's place as a camp counselor, but grandfather Jimmy is not fooled.
- Yeah just because of
- it's Lisa's poker night.
- Doesn't mean we can
- take care of ourselves.
I have everybody's
dinner assignment
right on this handy checklist.
Tamera, table set?
Check.
- -Tia, iced tea made?
- -Check.
And to me, I'll wash dishes
after dinner.
All right, let's eat.

- Well, today was
- the last day of school.
Tamera and I are really happy.
As if!
I have to take biology
in summer school.
What a waste of time.
The study of living things?
- When is that going to come up
- in real life?
And I signed up as counselor
at cucamunga day camp
- because I thought Nick Bryant
- was going to work there.
Oh, I've been dreaming
about him all year.
But he has to take
biology again too.
Tough luck, Tia.
- Yeah, I mean, summer camp
- was my best hope
To get close to Nick.
- When you're surrounded
- by eight-year-olds
Gluing stuff to pine cones
hey, anything can happen.
You know, Tia,
we're not very smart.
We've got this twin thing
staring us in the face
- and we never take advantage
- of it.
Oh, no, we are not going
to trade places again.
First of all
if your dad finds out,
he'll go ballistic.
You know what he says about
using our twin powers for evil.
Yeah, bad idea.
- Why would I want to be
- a summer camp counselor
With all the heat and bugs
when I can spend six weeks
of summer
in an air-conditioned
biology class with Nick Bryant.
Terrible idea.
- Tamera, I know
- what you're doing.
You're using
reverse psychology.
- You're not going
- to trade places with me?
Yeah, I'm going to do it.
Oh, ray, I meant to tell you.
- Tamera asked me if she could go
- to the mall today after school.
I told her it was okay.
She's supposed to study.
Yeah, I know, but it's summer.
- Well, that's why
- she's in summer school.
Because she didn't study
in fall, winter
or spring school.
Ease up, ray.
I know she's not my daughter
- but, hey, she's a girl,
- I'm a girl.
- Girls, we just want
- to have fun.
- You can't be one of the girls,
- Lisa. You have to be a parent.
- Otherwise, they just walk
- all over you.
- Now, warm support, firm limits.
- That's my credo.
I've raised Tia
with loose reins
and she turned out just fine.
Hi, Tia.
How was camp?
Uh, okay.
So, what did you do?
- What is with this third
- degree?
Can't you trust me?
Well, somebody dropped
her weeny in the campfire.
Hi, Tia.
- A whole week,
- and it's working like a charm.
Tamera! Your face.
What? A zit?
Tamera!
What's wrong with your face?
Oh, this?
Uh... I was putting on
my makeup on the school bus.
It was a very bumpy ride.
- You'll never guess
- who's coming to visit us.
Grandpa Campbell.
- Now, I want you guys
- to spend some time with him.
- There's nothing more important
- than family.
- That's going to be rough
- because I'm in summer c...
School
and Tia's in summer camp.
- Right. I'm in camp,
- she's in school.
-Sonny!
-Hey, dad!
Grandpa!
Well, the girls were saying
they're looking forward
to spending time with you.
- Oh, they probably have
- all kinds of stuff to do.
Yeah, I'm in summer... school
and Tia's in summer camp.
- Right, I'm in camp.
- She's in school.
- Ray, I was hoping
- to spend time with you.
We can finally go
on that fishing trip.
What fishing trip?
- The one you've been dying
- for me to take you on.
I was 12.
- Oh, so now,
- you don't want to go.
Well, I'm starving.
They don't feed you anything
at that stupid summer camp.
School!
See what I did?
I said "camp" when I obviously
meant "school."
Wasn't that funny, Tia?
Funny?
They have their own language.
Oh.
I'm touched, you came
all this way
to go fishing with me?
You're not in any
trouble, are you?
The law or some kind of scam?
Oh, absolutely not, son.
- Well, let's get
- your gear upstairs
- And next week,
- I'll make time to go fishing.
That works out fine.
- I really shouldn't show my face
- for a couple of days.
Excuse me?
- Well, remember
- that sporting goods store
- -i opened in Mexico?
- -Yeah.
Well, this is all that survived
that mysterious
electrical fire.
See, now, there you go, dad.
Mysterious fires,
having to lay low.
- What kind of example is that
- to set for the girls?
I'll be on my best behavior.
I promise.
Okay.
By the way.
- A district attorney
- Gonzalez might call.
- I put you down as
- a character reference.
I doubt if he'll call,
but just in case.
Oh, man!
So, Tia, how am I doing
in summer school?
Great.
- Not too great, or people
- will get suspicious.
Hey, don't worry.
I'll try harder to maintain
your low standards.
Well, thanks, sis.
Unfortunately,
you're not doing well
in the Nick Bryant department.
- He won't give you
- the time of day.
You can start referring
to yourself now, Tia.
Okay, he won't give me
the time of day.
- Even when I asked him
- what time it was
- He wouldn't give me
- the time of day.
Tia, why not take the
initiative and ask him out?
I did.
I asked him to join me
in the library
and maybe form a study group.
Listen, Tia, that kind of stuff
might work in honors algebra
- but you're in summer school,
- honey!
Act like it.
Well, can you help me, tamera?
I'm so bad at being bad.
Well, okay, let's talk.
You know, I wrote a song
just for you.
What's your name again?
Bernice.
Could you change it to Paula?
Sure, Nicky.
♪ Paula, when I see you
in the hall-a ♪
♪ don't you know you really
all-a that... ♪
Uh, Mr. Bryant...
How about sharing
all-a-that oral report
on photosynthesis?
Photo what?
Never mind.
Where's tamera?
Who?
The girl who sits next to you
who answered
every question yesterday.
- I don't know
- who you are talking about.
She means me.
Whoa! Was you the girl
that was up in here yesterday?
Yeah. I'm tamera Campbell.
You know, the one
from summer school
not camp.
Thanks for that introduction.
You're late.
And your point is?
- Tamera, would you
- please sit down?
- The rest of the class
- would like to get to work.
Who would like to describe
the process for photosynthesis?
Uh, say, listen, tamera.
- Let's say you and I
- get together after school
And, uh... not do our homework.
I'm tired.
- When are we getting
- to lake merton, Reggie?
Reggie is not my Indian name.
I'm "swims with the salmon."
Sorry.
According to my
cucamunga camp manual
we should be reaching
lake merton soon.
But why don't we ask our
counselor, "brave as buffalo."
Water! Water! Water!
Hey! What if I get thirsty
on the hike?
We're resting right here,
"eats every five minutes."
I hope there aren't any
wild wolverines around here.
Actually, the last known wild
Wolverine disappeared years ago
with the encroachment of man.
- Can I see that book
- for a moment?
- Certainly. Are you interested
- in wolverines?
No!
I hope you don't regret that.
Now this is what it's all
relaxing with mother nature,
chillin' with coolio.
Well, if it's all the same
to you, "brave as buffalo"
I'm going on ahead
with "leaping elk,"
"flies with squirrels"
"graceful moose,"
"whistling Robin"
and Randy, who came
too late to get a name.
Excuse me!
Hey, Randy
anything left in your lunch bag
besides your fingerprints?
Hey!
You guys come back here
right now!
Oh, man! Hold up!
Boy, this is great, huh?
Little time in
the woods all alone
just you and me.
Hey, wait up, guys.
And Roger.
Thanks for bringing me along.
You jumped into the car, Roger.
You could've kicked me out.
You guys are the best.
- Hey, that looks like
- a good spot over there, dad.
If you two want to bond,
just let me know. I won't look.
- I was hoping to spend
- this quality time with my son.
- Ray, you go south,
- I'll go north.
We'll meet back here
in four hours.
- Five bucks for whoever
- catches the biggest fish.
You're on.
I'll go with you Mr. Campbell.
Maybe you and I could bond.
- We'll, why don't we
- just fish, Roger?
Any bonding happens,
will all be to the better.
Wait! Wait! Wait!
- Guys, I'm sure
- that wasn't a bear.
But just in case, we'll just
sit here and eat doritos.
Oh, no! A bear!
Hold it. Hold it
right there, tamera.
Tamera? I'm Tia.
Actually, her name is
"brave as buffalo."
If her father catches her
her name will be
"dead as doornail."
Where's my dad?
- He's at the lake fishing.
- And why are you up here?
Well, uh...
I'm in, I'm in summer school.
You know, and we're
having a field trip
with the other kids
in my biology class.
This isn't biology class.
Work with me here.
Say no more.
You and Tia are pulling
the old switcheroo, huh?
- Boy, what I could
- have done with a twin
In that trailer park
deal back in '79.
Anyway, what you're
doing is wrong.
A mistake, a gaffe,
a faux pas, a boo-boo.
All right! All right!
- You're not going to tell
- my dad, are you?
Soupy Campbell has never
ratted on anybody.
But I did promise your father
- I wouldn't be a bad
- influence on you.
I won't break that trust.
Here's what you do.
For the next few hours,
I suggest you get lost.
No, no, no! This way.
Oh.
Okay, cherokees
now, who can tell us
where we are.
I can.
We're lost.
I know.
Hello? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- How's Tia doing up at that
- camp?
What? What?
My Tia is missing?
- What are you still doing
- on the phone?
- Get search and rescue!
- Some helicopters!
Get-get Rambo!
- -Hi, mom.
- -Not now, Tia.
You're lost in the woods.
Oh, hello. She's all right.
She's here.
Have a nice day. Thanks.
- Tia, that was your camp.
- They said you were missing.
Mom, that's terrible!
We'd better go up
and find... me.
Tia, what's going on?
Nothing. Everything's fine.
- Hi, tamera.
- You left your books in my car.
Tamera?
Um, I'm Tia.
- You're looking
- for my twin sister tamera.
I've never even met you.
If you wanted to dump me
you could have done better
than that lame twin excuse.
I said I'm Tia...
Stranger!
I was about to take you
to the t.L.C. Concert too
but now I'm just going
to have to ask bernice
who changed her name to Paula.
Well, if you do that, Nick
we're through!
Well, that's what my sister
tamera would say
if she were here.
Tia, don't tell me...
Okay, I won't tell you.
Tell me!
Mom, I'm sorry.
- I wanted to go to summer school
- because I wanted to meet Nick
Who was going out with Paula
who used to be bernice
and tamera took my place
at summer camp
and now she's lost!
- We got to go that camp.
- We got to find tamera.
- I got to call the camp
- from the car
And tell them
it's not you that's lost,
it's tamera that's lost.
Aren't you going to yell at me?
Oh, I'm saving that
for the ride up there.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Now, let's not panic.
This is where our
camp cucamunga training
comes in handy.
What training?
Excuse me. What do you call
all the projects we worked on
back at camp?
We're going to make
more macaroni jewelry?
No, of course not!
We're going to...
Do you remember anything
you read in that book
before I threw it away?
We could build a small
lean-to for shelter
and hunt small game for food...
Or we can go hitch a ride
at that interstate.
Intersate?
My fellow cherokees
in the words
of chief crazy horse
"well, all righty, then!"
Ray?
Lisa?
Oh, thank goodness.
Tia!
Cherokees, come on!
- Get in here!
- Now sit and behave.
- I'll call the camp
- and tell them we're okay.
Food!
When you're through
- I'd like a word
- with the camp director.
- Frankly, you are
- a less than adequate counselor.
- Give it a rest,
- "blabbers with mouth."
That's another thing
now that we're no longer
at camp
- I think we should
- use our real names.
Good idea, dork face!
Hello. Yes.
Uh, this is, uh, Tia Landry.
Oh, we were lost,
but we're fine now.
We hitched a ride, but I've got
the entire tribe at my house
- and I'm going
- to take them home.
Right.
I understand.
Right.
Boy...
He fired me.
Great. This will look
terrible on my record.
- I'm never going to be able
- to get another job.
Wait a minute.
I'm not Tia.
Baby!
Safe!
Spoke too soon.
Aha! So old switcheroo's
gone awry, huh?
Big time.
Hide these kids.
- Your daddy will be here
- any second.
Everybody, hide!
- This isn't time
- for playing games.
This is no game, son.
We're trying to fool a parent.
Say no more!
Camp shirt!
Have I taught you nothing?
- I forgot to change.
- I need a jacket.
Yes.
Hey, come on.
Boy, what a scorcher out there.
- Aren't you going to be warm
- in that?
Oh. Well, uh...
The air conditioning
was on so high at school
I'm still cold.
Brrr!
- Wish you could have been - up
at the lake fishing - With us, tamera.
Oh, I was.
Wishing the same thing,
because summer school
is more important.
What's that noise?
Oh, just me.
These marshmallows are stale.
- -Nice fish, dad.
- -Yeah.
- It was a battle
- catching this bad boy.
It was the age-old struggle
of the cunning of man
against the power of the sea...
Or in my case, the lake.
Hi, Mr. Campbell.
There's been a mixup.
- You got my fish,
- and I got yours.
I even named him.
"Dinky."
Well, dinky put up
quite a battle too.
The worm put up a bigger fight.
Tamera!
Thank god you're safe.
Ly home from summer school.
Was there a problem at school?
Oh, uh... jus-just
that air conditioning thing.
Brrr.
What?
Oh, I-I just realized
I forgot to shave my legs.
Say, ray, what do
you say you and I
take my string of
fish... and dinky
and clean them up for supper?
- I don't know.
- Now that dinky has a name
You think we should eat him?
Oh, yeah.
Hey, come on!
All you kids, come on.
Hurry up!
I'll explain this
to you guys later.
- No need. "Chief runs the camp"
- told us the whole story.
- Thanks for getting me fired,
- tamera.
You agreed to switch.
- -You knew the risks.
- -Excuse me.
- Oh come on, come on,
- now wait a minute.
- You two have the rest
- of your lives to argue.
- Lisa, please don't tell
- my dad about this.
Don't worry.
If he finds out I knew
- I will never hear
- the end of it.
- I told him
- you two could be trusted.
What are you, nuts?
Apparently so
from what I've observed.
Lisa!
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
I found this power ranger
compass on the porch.
You know who it belongs to?
No! No! No!
Okay.
Sorry, dinky.
Hi, ray.
Oh, I couldn't sleep.
I have a confession to make.
- The girls wanted me - to keep it a secret
- But I just can't.
- The girls tried to pull - a fast
one the last couple - Of weeks.
Tia and tamera traded places.
Tia went to summer... school
and tamera went
to summer... camp.
What? Dog gone it! I was afraid
- -this was going to...
- -Don't get upset ray.
- Now they have switched back.
- I've grounded them.
- So you can be the good guy
- this time.
- You are right we cannot be
- their friends.
We got to be their parents.
All right. Thank you.
Good night.
- And thank you for not saying,
- "I told you so."
You're welcome.
I told her so.
Uh... ray, tamera and I
have a confession to make.
- But if you're busy we can come
- back later.
Tamera!
We promised my mom
we'd keep it a secret
but we just couldn't.
We're really sorry
but Tia and I have
been trading places
for two weeks.
But tomorrow I'm going back
to summer... school.
And I'm going back to summer...
To find another job.
- Dad you're not too mad
- at us, are you?
The fact that you came
to tell me the truth
means that you can be trusted.
Oh, thanks, dad.
You can go back
to your little fish.
Come on. I'm off to school.
I'm getting an "a," right?
Wow actually,
I did such a great job
being you
you're sort of flunking.
Oh, man!
I told you this was
a terrible idea.
Tell me about it.
I'm grounded and unemployed.
Okay, we'll make a pact...
From now on,
no more switching, okay?
Okay.
Who are we kidding?
What have you got Friday?
I have a piano lesson
I'm not crazy about.
- How do you feel about
- baby-sitting Saturday?
Deal!
- it's Lisa's poker night.
- Doesn't mean we can
- take care of ourselves.
I have everybody's
dinner assignment
right on this handy checklist.
Tamera, table set?
Check.
- -Tia, iced tea made?
- -Check.
And to me, I'll wash dishes
after dinner.
All right, let's eat.
Uh, dad?
I think you forgot something.
Right. Make dinner.

- Well, today was
- the last day of school.
Tamera and I are really happy.
As if!
I have to take biology
in summer school.
What a waste of time.
The study of living things?
- When is that going to come up
- in real life?
And I signed up as counselor
at cucamunga day camp

the process for photosynthesis?
Uh, say, listen, tamera.
- Let's say you and I
- get together after school
And, uh... not do our homework.
I'm tired.
- When are we getting
- to lake merton, Reggie?
Reggie is not my Indian name.
I'm "swims with the salmon."
Sorry.
According to my
cucamunga camp manual
we should be reaching
lake merton soon.
But why don't we ask our
counselor, "brave as buffalo."
Water! Water! Water!
Hey! What if I get thirsty
on the hike?
We're resting right here,
"eats every five minutes."
I hope there aren't any
wild wolverines around here.
Actually, the last known wild
Wolverine disappeared years ago
with the encroachment of man.
- Can I see that book
- for a moment?
- Certainly. Are you interested
- in wolverines?
No!
I hope you don't regret that.
Now this is what it's all
relaxing with mother nature,
chillin' with coolio.
Well, if it's all the same
to you, "brave as buffalo"
I'm going on ahead
with "leaping elk,"
"flies with squirrels"
"graceful moose,"
"whistling Robin"
and Randy, who came
too late to get a name.
Excuse me!
Hey, Randy
anything left in your lunch bag
besides your fingerprints?
Hey!
You guys come back here
right now!
Oh, man! Hold up!
Boy, this is great, huh?
Little time in
the woods all alone
just you and me.
Hey, wait up, guys.
And Roger.
Thanks for bringing me along.
You jumped into the car, Roger.
You could've kicked me out.
You guys are the best.
- Hey, that looks like
- a good spot over there, dad.
If you two want to bond,
just let me know. I won't look.
- I was hoping to spend
- this quality time with my son.
- Ray, you go south,
- I'll go north.
We'll meet back here
in four hours.
- Five bucks for whoever
- catches the biggest fish.
You're on.
I'll go with you Mr. Campbell.
Maybe you and I could bond.
- We'll, why don't we
- just fish, Roger?
Any bonding happens,
will all be to the better.
Wait! Wait! Wait!
- Guys, I'm sure
- that wasn't a bear.
But just in case, we'll just
sit here and eat doritos.
Oh, no! A bear!
Hold it. Hold it
right there, tamera.
Tamera? I'm Tia.
Actually, her name is
"brave as buffalo."
If her father catches her
her name will be
"dead as doornail."
Where's my dad?
- He's at the lake fishing.
- And why are you up here?
Well, uh...
I'm in, I'm in summer school.
You know, and we're
having a field trip
with the other kids
in my biology class.
This isn't biology class.
Work with me here.
Say no more.
You and Tia are pulling
the old switcheroo, huh?
- Boy, what I could
- have done with a twin
In that trailer park
deal back in '79.
Anyway, what you're
doing is wrong.
A mistake, a gaffe,
a faux pas, a boo-boo.
All right! All right!
- You're not going to tell
- my dad, are you?
Soupy Campbell has never
ratted on anybody.
But I did promise your father
- I wouldn't be a bad
- influence on you.
I won't break that trust.
Here's what you do.
For the next few hours,
I suggest you get lost.
No, no, no! This way.
Oh.
Okay, cherokees
now, who can tell us
where we are.
I can.
We're lost.
I know.
Hello? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- How's Tia doing up at that
- camp?
What? What?
My Tia is missing?
- What are you still doing
- on the phone?
- Get search and rescue!
- Some helicopters!
Get-get Rambo!
- -Hi, mom.
- -Not now, Tia.
You're lost in the woods.
Oh, hello. She's all right.
She's here.
Have a nice day. Thanks.
- Tia, that was your camp.
- They said you were missing.
Mom, that's terrible!
We'd better go up
and find... me.
Tia, what's going on?
Nothing. Everything's fine.
- Hi, tamera.
- You left your books in my car.
Tamera?
Um, I'm Tia.
- You're looking
- for my twin sister tamera.
I've never even met you.
If you wanted to dump me
you could have done better
than that lame twin excuse.
I said I'm Tia...
Stranger!
I was about to take you
to the t.L.C. Concert too
but now I'm just going
to have to ask bernice
who changed her name to Paula.
Well, if you do that, Nick
we're through!
Well, that's what my sister
tamera would say
if she were here.
Tia, don't tell me...
Okay, I won't tell you.
Tell me!
Mom, I'm sorry.
- I wanted to go to summer school
- because I wanted to meet Nick
Who was going out with Paula
who used to be bernice
and tamera took my place
at summer camp
and now she's lost!
- We got to go that camp.
- We got to find tamera.
- I got to call the camp
- from the car
And tell them
it's not you that's lost,
it's tamera that's lost.
Aren't you going to yell at me?
Oh, I'm saving that
for the ride up there.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Now, let's not panic.
This is where our
camp cucamunga training
comes in handy.
What training?
Excuse me. What do you call
all the projects we worked on
back at camp?
We're going to make
more macaroni jewelry?
No, of course not!
We're going to...
Do you remember anything
you read in that book
before I threw it away?
We could build a small
lean-to for shelter
and hunt small game for food...
Or we can go hitch a ride
at that interstate.
Intersate?
My fellow cherokees
in the words
of chief crazy horse
"well, all righty, then!"
Ray?
Lisa?
Oh, thank goodness.
Tia!
Cherokees, come on!
- Get in here!
- Now sit and behave.
- I'll call the camp
- and tell them we're okay.
Food!
When you're through
- I'd like a word
- with the camp director.
- Frankly, you are
- a less than adequate counselor.
- Give it a rest,
- "blabbers with mouth."
That's another thing
now that we're no longer
at camp
- I think we should
- use our real names.
Good idea, dork face!
Hello. Yes.
Uh, this is, uh, Tia Landry.
Oh, we were lost,
but we're fine now.
We hitched a ride, but I've got
the entire tribe at my house
- and I'm going
- to take them home.
Right.
I understand.
Right.
Boy...
He fired me.
Great. This will look
terrible on my record.
- I'm never going to be able
- to get another job.
Wait a minute.
I'm not Tia.
Baby!
Safe!
Spoke too soon.
Aha! So old switcheroo's
gone awry, huh?
Big time.
Hide these kids.
- Your daddy will be here
- any second.
Everybody, hide!
- This isn't time
- for playing games.
This is no game, son.
We're trying to fool a parent.
Say no more!
Camp shirt!
Have I taught you nothing?
- I forgot to change.
- I need a jacket.
Yes.
Hey, come on.
Boy, what a scorcher out there.
- Aren't you going to be warm
- in that?
Oh. Well, uh...
The air conditioning
was on so high at school
I'm still cold.
Brrr!
- Wish you could have been - up
at the lake fishing - With us, tamera.
Oh, I was.
Wishing the same thing,
because summer school
is more important.
What's that noise?
Oh, just me.
These marshmallows are stale.
- -Nice fish, dad.
- -Yeah.
- It was a battle
- catching this bad boy.
It was the age-old struggle
of the cunning of man
against the power of the sea...
Or in my case, the lake.
Hi, Mr. Campbell.
There's been a mixup.
- You got my fish,
- and I got yours.
I even named him.
"Dinky."
Well, dinky put up
quite a battle too.
The worm put up a bigger fight.
Tamera!
Thank god you're safe.
Ly home from summer school.
Was there a problem at school?
Oh, uh... jus-just
that air conditioning thing.
Brrr.
What?
Oh, I-I just realized
I forgot to shave my legs.
Say, ray, what do
you say you and I
take my string of
fish... and dinky
and clean them up for supper?
- I don't know.
- Now that dinky has a name
You think we should eat him?
Oh, yeah.
Hey, come on!
All you kids, come on.
Hurry up!
I'll explain this
to you guys later.
- No need. "Chief runs the camp"
- told us the whole story.
- Thanks for getting me fired,
- tamera.
You agreed to switch.
- -You knew the risks.
- -Excuse me.
- Oh come on, come on,
- now wait a minute.
- You two have the rest
- of your lives to argue.
- Lisa, please don't tell
- my dad about this.
Don't worry.
If he finds out I knew
- I will never hear
- the end of it.
- I told him
- you two could be trusted.
What are you, nuts?
Apparently so
from what I've observed.
Lisa!
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
I found this power ranger
compass on the porch.
You know who it belongs to?
No! No! No!
Okay.
Sorry, dinky.
Hi, ray.
Oh, I couldn't sleep.
I have a confession to make.
- The girls wanted me - to keep it a secret
- But I just can't.
- The girls tried to pull - a fast
one the last couple - Of weeks.
Tia and tamera traded places.
Tia went to summer... school
and tamera went
to summer... camp.
What? Dog gone it! I was afraid
- -this was going to...
- -Don't get upset ray.
- Now they have switched back.
- I've grounded them.
- So you can be the good guy
- this time.
- You are right we cannot be
- their friends.
We got to be their parents.
All right. Thank you.
Good night.
- And thank you for not saying,
- "I told you so."
You're welcome.
I told her so.
Uh... ray, tamera and I
have a confession to make.
- But if you're busy we can come
- back later.
Tamera!
We promised my mom
we'd keep it a secret
but we just couldn't.
We're really sorry
but Tia and I have
been trading places
for two weeks.
But tomorrow I'm going back
to summer... school.
And I'm going back to summer...
To find another job.
- Dad you're not too mad
- at us, are you?
The fact that you came
to tell me the truth
means that you can be trusted.
Oh, thanks, dad.
You can go back
to your little fish.
Come on. I'm off to school.
I'm getting an "a," right?
Wow actually,
I did such a great job
being you
you're sort of flunking.
Oh, man!
I told you this was
a terrible idea.
Tell me about it.
I'm grounded and unemployed.
Okay, we'll make a pact...
From now on,
no more switching, okay?
Okay.
Who are we kidding?
What have you got Friday?
I have a piano lesson
I'm not crazy about.
- How do you feel about
- baby-sitting Saturday?
Deal!
