Go To

Dorothy's son Michael moves in with her after his wife kicks him out.


Tropes:

  • Bigger Is Better in Bed: Rose compares her late husband Charlie's endowment to a bull's she saw as a child:
    Rose: "Boy, that bull would've been jealous."
  • Gag Penis: Rose's husband Charlie is implied to have had one. Her mother taught her about the birds and the bees by showing her a bull's penis and testicles when she was young, and she did the same with her daughter. The first time she saw Charlie naked on their wedding night, she decided that she hadn't been properly prepared. When recounting this to her friends, she adds, "Boy, that bull would've been jealous."
  • Literal Metaphor: Invoked by Rose when she describes how she gave her daughter The Talk.
    Rose: Finally I decided it was time to take the bull by the horns.
    Blanche: So you told her?
    Rose: No. I took the bull by the horns, turned him around, and showed her what makes a bull a bull.
  • Writers Cannot Do Math: In his previous appearances, Michael's age is given as 29, and then 23. In this episode his age is given as 30.
