Judy's heart soars when Gretchen announces that she and her disturbingly hirsute boyfriend, Ray, are expecting their first child. But it isn't long before Gretchen's unorthodox approach to parenting turns what should be a happy time into a typical Glide family war of wills. Gretchen proposes to raise her child absent any indication of its sex: no pink or blue nursery, no baby dolls or trucks, no—to Judy's horror—traditional boy or girl names. In order to be part of their grandchild's life, Rusty and Judy must first come to terms with their daughter—a realization that prompts them to look at themselves and their entire family with new eyes.
