Transcript:
Gene: Mom, Dad, we're going to head out in a few!
Gene: We're going to collect the shrimp and go to the farm!
Arlo: You're not going to take it all, are you?
Janis: He means Meg!
Confusion between father & son? I’m not suprised. I’m 57 and often need a translator when talking with my 29 year old son. Sometimes we’re on different pages and sometimes I just don’t get it. (Not like the relationship I had with my father -ha, ha!)
It took me a few minutes to realize he meant the kid..Also, Arlo is not often portrayed as a clueless dim bulb like dad, he and like most of us don’t always understand what was just said..Last week Arlo noticed Janis feeling down and offered a second honeymoon. Not a dim bulb there.
My daughter in law had a little girl before she and my son got married. My dil’s birthday was 3 days after they got married, I offered to take my new grand daughter for a couple of hours so that they could have some alone time on her birthday..my dil’s mother showed up shortly after I left and insisted she needed to be with her daughter for her birthday..would not allow them to have their much needed alone time..my son was deployed the following week for 5 month to the war

Don’t know that I’d take the kid on the wedding night, even though they’ve been shacking up for a while now.

I thought he meant the seafood too. Maybe Janis will offer to keep Meg for a night or two as long as they promise not to make more shrimp.

poor pun. poor Arlo is often portrayed as a clueless dim bulb like the dad’s in most sitcoms. more support of Hanna Rosin’s book “The End of Men”

You mean he refers to the child as the shrimp?

I believe the boat is not involved. He said the farm.
