One of my favorite episodes was when their son was born. The hospital staff mixed up their names with another couple a few times, so when they got home, Rob was convinced that they had the wrong baby.

Since they knew the name of the other couple, Rob looked up their number and called them. The guy on the phone agreed to come over to Rob and Laura's with their newborn baby boy.

When Rob opened the door, he was met by a Black couple holding their Black son.
