mojoween May 20, 2017 Share May 20, 2017 I hated that guy. Now I don't live in a family where any male wears a collared shirt unless for a funeral, but the way he's dressed, to me, he looks like a salesman delivering the arrangement and not her kid. Also the reaction of the mother to the first arrangement is out of sync with her reaction to the second one. No mother would do that unless she actually is making it clear that the second kid is her favorite. And also also the way he says "it's always a competition" is a terrible line-reading. I want to hit him and then I automatically root for the first brother. Can't wait to see what they come up with for Father's Day!
