“She wants to leave cause your Daughters mean and your house smells weird!” 😭😭

[r.morgan]

"She has to fly like paper, get high like planes" 😂

[May_Odaigahara]

"Cicadas!" absolutely got me

[xPRIMExNITROx]

The other girl’s a damn good friend for continuing to invite her

[chelseabradley]

The “what do you want me to say” part is too real 😂 my mom used to say “if you ever want to get out of something you can always blame it on me.”

Me as a kid, but my mom stopped coming to get me 💀 she was like "we not doing this every time" lmaoo

When I was about 8 and slept over at a friends' house, it was great and fun and cool until after bedtime and the house was big and scary and dark and made funny noises and I called my Mom and she came to get me. It was just that one time, but from all of us scared kids, thanks Mom for always being there with the car and complete loving understanding.

Maya's dead-eyed stare when releasing the cicadas 🤣

[coolboss]

The nonchalant "Cicadas!" had me in tears 😭

[millawitt]

Made me remember when my mom had to pick me up because of homesickness -she always did and never made me feel bad about it.. Thank you Mom and I love you❤

Maya is such a brilliant comedian. She is understated, she is over-the-top, she is goofy, she is sincere, she is willing to play “the straight man“ and willing to deliver the punch line. She is humbly perfect.

"Hello we are the police. We are here to arrest the girl and take her to girl jail " lmao 😂

[NikkiSmith]

We have a code word kids can say or text and I’ll be the bad guy and make up an excuse why they have to leave. Takes the peer pressure off and lets kids save face with their friends while getting out of any uncomfortable situation. Love the creativity and love in this sketch!

[CinnamonQuills]

As someone who has been an introvert with a limited social battery all of my life and as someone who had a very understanding mom who would absolutely bail me out like this if I needed it, I loved this sketch down to the bottom of my heart.

[drphot]

The M.I.A. part darn near took me out then the Cicadas did lol

[onlyforgduse]

This is by far one of the best skits SNL has ever done purely because of how wholesome it is.

[LL-m-nu]

1:59 When you've mastered your skills for making up excuses for your kid.

[jamiegdubois]

As someone who could never handle sleepovers (for a number of reasons), this was not only funny but actually really sweet. BRB, I’m gonna go call my mom.

[LHorton]

All the doorbells triggered my dog so bad lol 😂

[Theye]

When you want friends but other people's space gives you anxiety 😂
