Lazy Days
About Lazy Days
Farina lounges while minding his baby brother. His girlfriend Trellis waits. The rest of the gang dress their younger siblings for a $50 baby contest, and Joe tries to pass off 11-year-old Chubby as an infant. Farina slowly bathes and dresses his brother, then has a mishap with the stroller. After he lies down to rest, Joe tells him the contest was held more than a month ago.
