Lily is going to be a flower girl in a wedding. She looks like Little Bo Peep in her bright blue dress. And when we say bright, we mean her unusual outfit actually lights up. Nevertheless, Lily is utterly adorable during a practice run in the living room until she drops the F-bomb. Mitchell is in shock. Cameron is in hysterics. Apparently, the big guy has two weaknesses—children swearing and old people rapping.

The guys wonder if they misheard Lily's most recent comments. Nope! Their darling daughter is quite comfortable swearing up a storm. Mitch and Cam warn Lily that she should never say that word even though it gives one of her dads a first class case of the giggles.

Lily is put on verbal lockdown come wedding day as she flashes her way down the aisle. Unfortunately, Cameron always cries at weddings. When Lily sees her dad in tears, she feels the need to say something to make him feel better. Pretty soon, the foul-mouthed flower girl has everyone in the church laughing hysterically. Of course, the bride and groom don't look all that happy.

Stella the dog keeps jumping into the pool even though she can't swim. Jay believes Stella may be suicidal because Gloria doesn't like her. If that were true, why would Gloria jump into the pool to save Stella while wearing a beautiful dress? As it turns out, the buoyancy-challenged canine was just trying to get a squeaky toy that was stuck in the filter. Jay thinks this is hilarious, but it doesn't mean doggy suicide is anything to laugh about.
