On the Mom's quests, if you check the thoughts in your room, it says:
Now that I have the book Maria told me to get, I need to return it to Maria. Perhaps I could take a look inside at first. She did seem suspiciois when asking what sort of recipes was in it.
and
I have the Tape that Hayley was asking for, I just need to return it to her. I wonder what sort of 'vacation tape' it is? Maybe I could check it out before returning it to her, but it's too risky to do it in home TV so I need to borrow someone elses.
But I have not found any way to do either action. Has anyone found a way?
