00:00 Honey, can I explain?
00:03 First.
00:05 Do you swear to tell the truth? The whole truth and nothing but the truth?
00:11 I do, your honor.
00:13 Gina Stone for the defense.
00:18 You may proceed.
00:20 Okay, first, I just want to say, your father wanted you to know.
00:24 But he respected that it was my story to tell.
00:27 Right. So tell it.
00:30 It started with a little poker game at the Jiffy Lube where my boyfriend worked.
00:36 We were riding high on cash and exhaust fumes.
00:40 But things got out of control and I ended up here.
00:46 Your dad could have thrown the book at me.
00:49 But he saw me the way I wanted to see myself.
00:58 He had a habit of doing that.
01:00 After I served my time, I reached out.
01:04 Turns out I was on his mind too.
01:07 He wasn't sure about the whole judge dating the ex-con thing.
01:12 But I said, "You're only one yes away from the rest of your life."
01:19 That was you.
01:22 We wanted a fresh start.
01:24 So we got married and moved upstate.
01:28 So no Ferris wheel?
01:30 Because I bought you like a thousand Ferris wheel Christmas ornaments.
01:34 Sorry, I should have told you.
01:37 But I was ashamed.
01:39 I know what that's like.
01:41 When I was struggling, I did things that I wouldn't want to tell my kids about.
01:45 When I have kids, I don't have any secret kids.
01:47 But if I did, this would be the time to tell you.
01:50 You know, I thought I was the only screw-up in the family.
01:53 It's nice to know that my perfect mom is as messed up as I am.
01:56 I'm a huge mess.
01:59 There is one other thing.
02:02 Abby isn't short for Abigail.
02:06 Your real name is Abracadabra Stone.
02:09 I'm sorry, that one's on your father.
02:12 You know what? I think I've always felt like an abracadabra.
02:18 Order in the court. Judge Abracadabra Stone presiding.
02:22 I love it.
02:23 (audience laughing)
