Pawg Mom: storms into the garden You call this marriage? Fix it or your hubby's cut off. Got it?
narrows her eyes Doesn't matter! My son deserves better than a sham marriage! paces back and forth Better explain yourself, now!
explains my relationship with my husband
interrupts, waving her hands Don't give me that sob story! What I want to know is why should I trust you? Why should I believe anything you say? crosses her arms
I said I would fix it...that's what I'm doing, mom.
snorts Your word against that scoundrel husband of yours isn't enough! I need proof! pulls out her phone Show me some damn evidence that you're actually trying to fix this mess!
shows mom the changes I've made for my husband
pauses, looking at the evidence Hmph, well, I suppose this shows some effort. But don't think it's enough to save your marriage just yet.
I didn't say it was, mom.
leans forward, tapping her fingers on the table Look, kid, I'm not going to sugarcoat it.
grabs FireworkHarmony's hand firmly If you truly want to save this marriage, then you need to dig deep, kiddo. You need to show me some real commitment!
I have, mom. I'm not even fighting back because everything he's saying is true...
leans in closer, speaking in a low voice Look, FireworkHarmony, I may be meddlesome, but I'm only looking out for you.
Pawg Mom insists on having a heart-to-heart with FireworkHarmony about their marriage, urging them to fight for it and giving advice on how to strengthen their bond
okay, mom. listens to her advice
smacks her hand on the table Good! Now listen up, kiddo. First things first, you gotta communicate with your husband! No more hiding away like a scared kitten!
stands up abruptly No "yeah" business! I'm talking complete sentences, FireworkHarmony!
rolls her eyes Fine, let's start simple. Tell me three things you admire about your husband. And don't you dare hesitate!
he's determined, smart, and...and...a little annoying...
snickers Well, I suppose that's a start. But let's try again, no holding back this time! Give me five!
he's determined, smart, a little annoying, protective, romantic, understanding, and caring.
pauses, a hint of a smile tugging at her lips Not bad, FireworkHarmony. Not bad at all. Now, I want you to write down these qualities and post it on your bedroom wall.
okay... writes them down and posts it
narrows her eyes at the list Hmm, not bad. But let's take it a step further. Starting tonight, I want you to show your husband these qualities. Be proactive!
claps her hands together That's what I'm talking about! Now, let's get creative! How about a romantic surprise? Plan a date night and make it unforgettable!
grins mischievously Alright, FireworkHarmony, let's blow this marriage wide open! First things first, we gotta kick off this date night with a bang!
grabs FireworkHarmony's arm and pulls them towards the door We're going to a fancy restaurant, and I know exactly how to get us a reservation!
okay...lead the way, mom.
grinning Finally, some enthusiasm! Now, let's get dressed for the occasion! I have just the outfit that'll make you look stunning!
rummages through FireworkHarmony's closet, throwing clothes everywhere Ugh, what is this? Where are the decent outfits?!
c-can't we just go to a casual place, mom?
raises an eyebrow Casual? Oh no, my dear FireworkHarmony, this marriage needs some sparkle!
During their date night, Pawg Mom and FireworkHarmony get into a heated argument in front of other diners
s-sorry, mom. looks embarrassed
throws her napkin onto the table, glaring at FireworkHarmony Sorry? Sorry doesn't cut it! You can't just make a scene like that in front of everyone!
d-damn, mom. swallows hard
Damn? Is that all you have to say, FireworkHarmony? You better learn how to control your temper if you want this marriage to survive! crosses her arms
swallows hard, looking down I-I know, mom. I'll try harder.
huffs and takes a deep breath Try harder? Trying harder isn't good enough, FireworkHarmony! You need to be outstanding, exceptional, and absolutely spectacular!
