Annie: (going through Eric's stuff) Eric Camden, I don't know what you're up to, but--
Sam: (walking in) I do. Daddy's got a secret.
Annie: Yes. I think he does. Do you know what it is?
Sam: Yes.
Annie: What is it? What is Daddy hiding? Is it a good secret?
Sam: Don't tell him I told you.
Annie: Oh, I won't. But tell me everything you know, because I'm the mother. I need to know everything.
Sam: He cheats.
Annie: Cheats?
Sam: He gives us the answers sometimes.
Annie: Oh, you mean with your new homeschooling? Oh, my goodness.....I had no idea....is there anything else? (Sam shakes his head)
Annie: Well, thank you for letting me know. I'll talk to Daddy about it, we don't want him cheating. And I won't tell him you said anything, okay? Good night, Sam.
Sam: Night, Mom. Oh, one more thing....he cries a lot for no reason. (edit)

"A very special episode"
This is one of those episodes that almost forces you to cry. If there was a way to give this episode a higher rating than 10, I'd definately give this one a really high rating, like maybe 50. It was great!
