What Up I'm 3-K
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Charlene and a rival mother are the final two parents competing for one kindergarten place, and admissions interviewer Mrs. Smith puts their daughters through a round of aptitude tests. Charlene insists that Annie, very clearly a grown woman in pigtails, is simply a gifted three-year-old, while little Asia struggles and her mother grows more outraged at every excuse. Annie wins the spot, but when Mrs. Smith asks to speak with her alone, the two discover they each have a criminal plan for the school and decide to join forces.

Mommy, the big lady's scaring me.

There's nothing normal about raising a gifted child.

Mrs. Smith
Congrats, Charlene and Marsha. You are the final two parents fighting for the last kindergarten spot here at EZE College Press.
- 00:09
Asia's Mom
Well, thank you, Mrs. Smith. I am sure my daughter Asia would thrive here. She's a tiny superstar.
- 00:15
Charlene
It sounds like she'd get along great with my little supernova, Annie. Annie, say hi to the nice lady.
- 00:21
Annie
What up, Bob three?
- 00:22
Asia's Mom
Hold on, hold on. Whose parent is she? I thought she said we were the only two competing for the last spot.
- 00:29
Charlene
Annie doesn't have any competition. Annie, show them your dance.
- 00:34
Mrs. Smith ?
Holy sasquatch!
- 00:36
Annie
What up, Op 3?
- 00:37
Charlene
She's classically and potty-trained.
- 00:39
Asia
Mommy, the big lady's scaring me.
- 00:42
Asia's Mom ?
I know. No, no, no.
- 00:44
Charlene ?
Supportive fingers only, Mommy Marsha.
- 00:47
Mrs. Smith
Here, we welcome all children, even those who come in all caps.
- 00:53
Annie
What up, Op 3?
- 00:54
Mrs. Smith ?
Yes, Annie, we know.
- 00:55
No.
- 00:57
Mrs. Smith ?
Charlene, have you had Annie's requisite physical, all her shots, possible psyche valve, background checks?
- 01:04
Asia's Mom ?
Her mammogram?
- 01:05
Charlene
She has had all of her shots. And I would know, because I gave them to her myself.
- 01:09
Annie
What up, I'm three.
- 01:10
Charlene
You know you can't trust these doctors. They're all cuckoo.
- 01:13
Mrs. Smith ?
OK, OK.
- 01:15
Charlene ?
Anyway, do you know what a doctor said to me? She's not three. I said, oh, why? Because she's tall? Because she's ovulating?
- 01:21
Asia's Mom
Well, Asia here, she's in the 98th percentile. For six-year-olds.
- 01:26
Charlene ?
No. No more milk. Not until we get home. Mommy's tender. It hurts. No, not her either. Oh, no. What's happening? No.
- 01:35
Charlene
It's hard weaning her off, you know.
- 01:37
Asia's Mom ?
She's clearly been eating solids for the past 30 years.
- 01:40
Solid milk.
- 01:41
Annie ?
What about the...
- 01:42
Mrs. Smith
Okay, okay. I think right now we're gonna... We're gonna do a little aptitude test. How about that? What about that? So I'm gonna need the girls to take these shapes and put them into the right spaces.
- 01:54
Okay, and get up, sweetie.
- 01:55
Mrs. Smith
Ready? It's so easy, even a three-year-old could do it. All right, ready, set, match.
- 02:02
Charlene
Okay, that is just like we practiced with the corresponding shape inside of shapes in.
- 02:07
Annie
What up, I'm three.
- 02:08
Charlene ?
Oh, Yippee!
- 02:09
Asia's Mom
This is not fair because she-
- 02:12
Mrs. Smith ?
Don't worry, Mommy Marsh. Let's try another one. I'm sure Asia's gonna do great, okay?
- 02:18
Mrs. Smith
All right, ladies, what I need you girls to do is take these crayons and color these pictures inside the lines, all right? No mistake.
- 02:29
Asia's Mom
Charlene, seriously, is everything okay? Okay, because I'm going to tell you like I told my husband when he shared his fetishes with me. Okay. This is not normal.
- 02:39
Charlene
No, there's nothing normal about raising a gifted child.
- 02:44
Annie
What up, bottom three?
- 02:45
Charlene
Oh, oh, that is so good, baby. Do we have a savant?
- 02:53
Asia's Mom
Aisha, do you not care, hm? Cause that's what I'm getting from this, is that you don't care, that you don't want to be in the best kindergarten so that you can thrive, okay? I mean, what is this, huh? You're making a mockery of me and all I've worked for. How am I supposed to show the other moms I am better than them?
- 03:12
Annie
What about three?
- 03:14
Charlene ?
Oh, I think it's hug o'clock.
- 03:15
Asia's Mom
Get off of her, you weirdos.
- 03:18
Mrs. Smith
Exactly, Annie. Showing compassion is a prime example of Eazy-E college prep behavior. That's right. You know what? I've decided you are taking the final spot. Congratulations!
- 03:29
Charlene
Annie, we did it! Give Loni some. Oh, good girl. We did it. Oh, yes.
- 03:34
Asia's Mom ?
Oh, I don't need you. Oh. Because I'm just going to go to the office and suck off the principal like I'm a...
- 03:41
Oh! Oh!
- 03:42
Asia's Mom
Come on, Asia. Vamanos.
- 03:45
Oh.
- 03:45
Asia's Mom ?
Breastfeeding weirdos.
- 03:47
Wait.
- 03:47
Mrs. Smith
Well, uh, Charlene, do you mind if I speak with Annie alone for a moment?
- 03:53
Charlene
Uh, only if she's okay with it.
- 03:55
Annie
What about three?
- 03:56
Charlene
Okay, I'm gonna be right outside if you need me. Oh, wait till Harlan hears about this. She's gonna be so happy, she's gonna take us back. Only be a second. I'm trying to get back with her. That's why I wear my ring.
- 04:07
Mrs. Smith
You little shit. I knew you were grown.
- 04:10
Annie ?
Look here, lady. I got a good thing going. I'll cut you in if you don't say shit.
- 04:15
Mrs. Smith ?
Say less.
- 04:16
Whoa.
- 04:16
Mrs. Smith ?
I've been running drugs out the back of this school for the past six months. What you got going on?
- 04:22
Annie ?
Goddamn! Shit, I was just gonna steal some school supplies and sell them on Amazon, but I think we should combine forces.
- 04:30
Mrs. Smith ?
Fuck it, let's go.
- 04:31
Annie ?
Yeah, what up, Mr. D?
The rabbit hole continues
One more couldn’t hurt.
