In the Fresh off the Boat episode “Big Baby,” Honey (Chelsey Crisp) is excited about taking a parenting class. The expecting parents are to learn all about how to “listen to their babies.” The class is led by muumuu-wearing self-proclaimed baby expert Wilhelmina Page. Honey is torn because her stuffy mother Anne (guest star Cheryl Hines) thinks it’s a bunch of hogwash.
