"Dear Jenny,
3:40:05
if you're reading this,
you know that I am gone,
3:40:09
and I asked Helen
to be the guardian for the kids."
3:40:13
(Lindsay's voice)
And you're probably freaked about it.
3:40:17
Yes, it's a surprising choice,
3:40:20
considering that you are the most
incredible mother I've ever known.
3:40:28
If you find this letter odd, understand
that my always-be-prepared Paul
3:40:34
convinced me to write it now,
while our children are young.
3:40:43
(Sarah makes popping sound)
3:40:50
You must know from experience
that when it comes to picking
3:40:53
somebody else to raise your kids,
3:40:56
no one seems right.
3:40:58
No one is you.
3:41:03
(mouths)
3:41:06
And so you choose someone
who is most like you.
3:41:10
(mouths)
3:41:13
Someone that will give the kids
a taste of their real mom.
3:41:17
The mom they lost
and never really got to know.
3:41:21
In so many ways, we are so much alike.
3:41:27
That's why I chose Helen.
3:41:30
They're all yours.
3:41:33
Of course, she'll have lots of fights
with the kids,
3:41:36
yet she'll find a way to make up.
3:41:41
Welcome to the mamahood.
3:41:44
I know sometimes she messes things up
and makes big mistakes.
3:41:48
On the other hand,
she also makes big comebacks.
3:41:52
Respect her, Jenny. Give her a shot.
3:41:55
We're family, and I'm counting on you
to keep everyone together.
