Mama should be here by now. I wonder what's keeping her?

You know, Missouri's more cosmopolitan than you give it credit for, Mitchell.

I don't want to overstate this, but my mom is the greatest woman that ever lived.

If I had one complaint, and I do, it's the inappropriate putting of her hands on my body.

Hey Barb, I got you the cranberries you wanted for the stuffing.

Let me get in there and help you.

Cam's mom spent half of dinner with her hands all over me.

I mean, are you really the best judge of this kind of thing?

What are you doing?

Well, what does Cam say?

God forbid I say anything negative about his mom.

Mitchell, if this is happening, and I'm pretty sure it isn't...

...then you need Cam to see his mom feeling you up and then make Cam deal with it.
