Mindy Kaling is in her Michael Scott era.

The actress, who wrote and starred in The Office, appeared on this morning’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, where she revealed which episode of the NBC sitcom she relates to now more than ever.

Kaling and host Drew Barrymore, both of whom are only children, were talking about motherhood and how they wanted to have at least two kids because they didn’t grow up with any siblings.

“I remember when I was on The Office, there’s this character named Michael Scott,” she said, referring to Steve Carell‘s iconic fumbling boss. “And when he was a little boy, we did this thing where he was on a child TV show. And they ask him, ‘What do you want to do when you grow up?’ And he says, ‘I want to have 100 kids so I can have 100 friends and no one can say no to being my friend.'”

According to Kaling — who now has three children — the Season 2 episode didn’t resonate with her when she wrote it as much as it does now.

“I wrote that episode and I remember at the time I was 25 and I was so far from having kids and I thought, ‘That’s so funny and sad that a grown up would want to have kids to have friends,'” she recalled. “And then, now, cut to me being like, ‘I have two daughters and I can’t wait until they get older so they can be my pals.’”

“I am Michael Scott!” Kaling added.

Unfortunately, Kaling has a long way to go until her kids will “be in their 20s and be [her] pals.” The comedian, who has never revealed the identity of their father, is mom to daughter Katherine, 6, and son Spencer, 4. She welcomed her third child (and second daughter), Anne, in February of this year.
