Happy Birthday!

It's your special birthday breakfast!

Oatmeal?

- That's a muffin. - Oh.

Didn't bake all the way through.

It's still good though.

It's made with love, and no flour by accident.

Hmm.

Mom's not a baker, Dad.

She's a modern day woman.

Yeah, don't expect things to be baked all the time,

you sexist pig!

Well, happy birthday to me.

So you want to do anything special for your big day?

Well, we don't have to do anything special.

I'm happy just having my muffin soup and reading the newspaper.

Can't we have one place in this house

that's safe from reading?

- Oh, my god. - What?

What is it?

The Planetarium is having its last

ever rock-and-roll laser show.

And it's happening tonight.

Guys, it's Dad's birthday.

So let's pretend we all know what he's talking about.

A laser light show, Tina, is when they take

a classic rock-and-roll album and bring

it to life with lasers.

And they're doing the best one, General Insanity by Zentipede.

I went to that a couple of times as a kid.

I was a little bit into it.

Yeah!

This is amazing!

I can't believe this is the last one.

Why are they ending it?

I don't know.

I mean, the music is kind of old,

and the lasers are kind of old.

The people who like it are mostly kind of--

Old?

I was going to say cool.

Hey, maybe we could go to this for my birthday.

Yeah.

Great idea, right, kids?

Sure.

Yes?

Sure.

Sure.

Sounds like you guys aren't interested.

What?

I am.

Going out watching lasers, it's what I always imagined

future Gene would be into.

Hey, you two can go together.

Yes, this one has Dad and Gene written all over it.

That would be fun.

Gene?

Let's do it.

And while the boys are away, maybe us girls

can have dinner with Gretchen.

She's been bugging me to hang out.

Sure, I like Gretchen.

She's your friend who swears.

She's a cool sassy B who don't take ass from anyone.

Oh, my god, this muffin is-- oh, it's really bad.

I wasn't awake yet.

Hadn't had coffee.
