[Opposite skit, Mr. and Mrs. Prevert come into Christian's bedroom with presents, breakfast in bed and a TV.]

Mr. Prevert:
Ta da! Wakey wakey!

Mrs. Prevert:
Happy Children's Day Christian.

Christian:
Wow, breakfast in bed?

Mrs. Prevert:
Yes, and we have some presents for you. Don't we Lance?

Christian:
Wow!

Mrs. Prevert:
Children's Day is our day to show our appreciation for kids.

Christian:
Oh thanks mom. Thanks dad.

Mr. Prevert:
Hey, what's on the TV? No work today! Nothing but fun, fun fun fun!

[The screen flips over, ending the opposites]

Mr. Prevert:
Well I'm glad that's over. Let's get this out of here. (takes the TV away as Mrs. Prevert takes away the presents.) Now, you are going to clean my car. You are going to paint the house, put out the garbage, scrub the cess pool and then go to school.

Christian:
What's so wrong about having a Kids Day anyway? I mean, there's a Mother's Day and a Father's Day. There's even a Groundhog's Day!

Mrs. Prevert:
Christian, every day is Children's Day and you're spoiled enough as it is!

Christian:
Oh, that's what you're always trying to tell--

Mrs. Prevert:
(dumps the cereal on Christian's head) There.

Mr. Prevert:
Dump it! (dumps the rest of the breakfast on Christian.) Now you lazy little slob, clean up that mess! (he and Mrs. Prevert leave)

Christian:
Oh great!
