Mindy: People are always bagging on millennials and saying how great the elderly are, but they're not. They can't drive, they give terrible award show speeches, - and they ruined Facebook. Morgan: Okay, let me say something. As the founder of the very poorly attended Grandma-Con, I'm not just gonna sit here and listen to you rip on grandmas like that. Mindy: You know, I am so happy that I found a cool, fresh-faced, young woman to take care of my son because he deserves a cool, young nanny who has never had a landline and who only knows the Chris Pratt version of "Jurassic Park."
Morgan: How dare you, Dr.L. I was raised by my grandmother and I turned out great. Oh, God! My wound!
Colette: I'd love to help you, Morgan, but we never got to the end of that gauze seminar.
WHAT ? Are you kidding me ? Dr. Reed plays the banjo ?! Oh My goodness, look at that cute little face of his, he looks like he’s about to do a job interview to play with Mumford and Sons. I’m melting down I love him so much. Thank you for that TMP.
Mindy: I really need this whole working-mom thing figured out before Danny gets back.
Morgan: If he gets back. I haven't heard from that guy in weeks.
Mindy: He's coming back! And I need to find a nanny so good with Leo that I can keep working.
Morgan: Won't that make Annette mad? She threw out a teddy bear because she thought it was a rival.
Mindy: I think a ten-day cruise to Bermuda for her and Dot - is gonna soften the blow.
“What about the nanny for my son?” - Mindy
Jody: No, take it easy now. You're doing an admirable job. Why don't you let me watch the little fella while you're at the hospital?
Mindy: Thanks, Jody.
Jody: Sure.
“Well, Leo, I am sorry. I definitely did not live up to my Mother of the Year beer coozy today, but, don't worry, as my punishment there is no food left in the house for my dinner.
Whoa, Leo, there's still one of your grandmother's rigatoni's left in the fridge.
‘Dear Mindy, this is eight servings of pasta, can you make this one last two days for God's sake?’
That's pretty rude.
‘Dear Leo, sleep tight, my little angel, "and be nice to your mom. She works hard. Love, Grandma.’”- Mindy
the go-to… Mrs. Doubtfire

Go, Leo!
- 3x06, “Caramel Princess Time”
-Dandy-less episodes, 4x06 and 4x07 - “Road Trip” and “Mindy and Nanny”
I find the Dandy-less episodes similar to “Caramel Princess Time”.
* Mindy hanging out with Annette (and Dot).* Danny realizing he needs to deal with his dad issues.
quotes about Danny’s dad
CPT
Danny: I also I think I I sometimes I overreact to you being late. Because of some stuff with my dad.
Mindy: Oh. I would like to press further for details, but I won't.
Danny: Thank you.
Road Trip
Danny: You know, I was thinking about my dad. I mean, my dad's around, you know? I got to work out my stuff with him. I just I can't go there, just get him a nurse, and split. I mean, who knows, this might be my last chance.
A different kind of parallel for Mindy and Annette (and Dot). There were plots that involved of the three of them. I guess the parallel is that each episode they took care of each other. Here are cute quotes from them.
Mindy and Nanny
Mindy: Look, when you come and take care of Leo, you're not just taking care of him. You're taking care of me. And I can't do this by myself. I need your help. Please come back.
Annette: Okay, I'll come back, but just for Leo.
Mindy: No, and for me because you love me.
Annette: No, I only love five people. Danny, Richie, Leo, Dot, and the handsome one from "Suits.”
Mindy: And me. You love me.
Annette: No.
Mindy: You do, and you're gonna hug me now.
Annette: No, I'm not! What are you doing? No! Let go! you stop it! Get your paws off me!
Dot: She does not love you! This is assault!
Annette: Okay, okay. I love you. Just go put that baby to bed, all right? Go home. I'll see you later, you idiot.
I spy baby Leo pics on Annette’s wall <3
