Everybody Hates Chris: Everybody Hates Mother's Day (Episode 21)

We could probably also call this episode "Everybody Hates Macaroni", as it's the desire to not make a Mother's Day gift out of the cursed pasta that gets Chris into trouble this week.

Tonya joins a music club (remember those?) so she can spend a penny on a Patti LaBelle record for Rochelle, and seven Billy Ocean records for herself. Julius busts her when the real bill comes in, but she can keep the records as long as she does more chores.

Julius and Drew go hunting for a valuable Voltron toy that Julius made Drew give away. Of course, Drew finds it at their local Salvation Marines only to let another little kid have it. Julius is okay, but having lost out on $150 can you blame the man for vomiting in the car?

Chris gets banished from Goldstein's when he almost steals a bottle of the Pure Voodoo perfume Rochelle wants. So he gets a $20 knockoff from Risky, which fools Rochelle until she breaks out in a rash. They try to return the bottle, where Chris is exposed for the well-meaning though foolish son that he is. All seems to be forgiven until Rochelle digs up the macaroni belt Chris made for her in the third grade. Damn.
