It's a new life for two girls named Brady who have left the front to make it

their own.

Jan fell in love with a man named Phillip, the nicest guy she'd known.

trip and left Mom alone for a few nights. I'm glad we invited her to sleep

Oh, I love your mother.

So do I.

I have a lot of fun when she's around. So do I.

I think it'll be a disaster.

So do I.

And Mike, while you're away, the girls insisted that I sleep over.

Right. Oh, Phillip and Wally said they wanted me to stay too.

Well, I had a lot of things planned to do around here in the evenings, but when

they beg and plead like that...

How can I say no?

She could have said no.

But she didn't.

Mothers -in -law by tradition cause problems.

Oh, Philip, that's so old -fashioned.

Mom's not a mother -in -law. She's mom.

Well, maybe so, but we've never had a house guest before, and we're just

learning to live together.

I'll bet five bucks it's gonna be a mess.

to be fine.

I think Wally's right for a change. I'll bet $5, too. You're on.

A gourmet dinner, an immaculate house.

Mom won't be so impressed. She'll probably vote us kids of the year.

Probably will.

with the yellow wire.

You'll get an orange wire.

Well, listen, Mom will really... Mom will really be impressed with this.

appliance in the house will be set up on an automatic timer. And in case of an

emergency, I rigged it to alert the police department, the fire department,

the hospital.

You left out chicken delight.

You know, Philip, I've already finished my work.

You can't...

Yummy.

she felt sorry for Marsha's goldfish because she thought they were tired out

from swimming all day long.

She was so sad because they were wet and cold.

Never mind, Mom.

It was so funny. Jan dried them off with a towel and put them on her pillow to

sleep with her in a warm, dry bed.

Jan, how could you do that?

I was just a kid.

No excuses.

You tell everybody about last night's dinner. Yeah. Well, it wasn't my fault.

excuses.

Nowhere on a TV dinner does it say to take it out of the box before you put it

in the oven.

Well, anyway, Marsha's best cooking is never done, uh, in the kitchen.

After dinner, banana.

Oh, really? The dinner was just great.

I mean, the salad was yummy, the veal was just right, and the casserole was

scrumptious.

I insist. Now, you sleep in our room.

Aw, thanks, Philip.

Good night. Well, come on there, roomie.

Good night, Mom. Good night, Dan.

Good night, everybody.

Philip, thank you.

Mom, I want to tell Philip something. Would you give me a minute?

Oh, sure.

Take all the time you want.

Mom.

It's our first night apart since the wedding.

I got plenty of company.

Yeah. But did you ever try to snuggle up to a goldfish?

No, but you did.

I told you, I was just a kid then.

That's right. I guess I'll kiss you goodnight anyway.

That's right, guys. We're married.

put on your pajamas?

You know I don't have any.

How about your jeans?

are you thinking about?

Jan and Philip.

It must be hard on them spending the night so far apart.

Philip is only in the living room, not Siberia. I don't.

But I just think that you could have volunteered for the cot when Philip

to take it.

And leave you in here all by yourself?

I could have never done that to you.

Yeah, but you'd be in the living room, not Siberia.

Let me put it this way.

No.

You don't want me to pout, do you?

I can pout for weeks.

not what you think.

Too bad.

Well, it won't happen again because Wally has agreed to sleep on the cot.

I have?

I guess I have.

Yes, sir, there's nothing more I want to do in this world than to sleep out

here. Just me and the cot and 32 guppies.

Mom sleeps with Marsha.

Well, that means... Hi, roomie.

Jan? Oh!

I just wanted to kiss you goodnight.

Oh, well, you already kissed me goodnight.

Well, I can't get too much of a good thing.

What a kiss.

I hear bells.

I'd like to take credit, but it's the door.

At this hour?

Yeah.

Coming, coming.

Good evening.

Hello. I found this kid in front of your house here, and he said he belongs to

you. Harry, are you...

pay him over here, okay? Oh, sure.

It's all right, officer. We're sort of his home away from home. Well, is this

cot for the kid?

Oh, I can explain, officer. You see, this cot is here because my mother -in

is sleeping over. Oh, are you his mother -in -law? No, I'm his wife.

Ah!

Don't tell me you're his mother -in -law.

Now, she's sleeping in there.

I'm sleeping in there with Philip.

is sleeping with my mother -in -law.

Both of your mother -in -laws are sleeping with your wife. No, we only

mother -in -law. But you got two wives.

Oh, hello.

Who are you?

Oh, I'm his wife.

And I'm their mother -in -law, and I should be sleeping on the cot.

That would make you his wife.

You see, it's all a matter of deciding who sleeps with who.

Whom. Who sleeps with whom.

That's what I'm trying to find out.

It's very simple, officer. You see, right now... It's my turn to sleep with

Wally.

Oh.

Folks. Folks, I'm sure there is a simple explanation for this, but... Oh, boy,

it's probably too complicated.

Officer, trust me. I can vouch for these people.

Why not?

He's the only one that makes sense around here anyway.

this night would be a disaster.

The other five dollars we bet him, we should have made it ten.

Harry, I told you before, I don't like you out on the streets at night.

I'm not.

I'm in your living room.

And in two minutes, you're going to be in the bedroom.

Now, that's not very practical. Where is he going to sleep?

You think it bothers me?

Yes, you're right. It bothers me.

Blink. Please, just once. Blink.

That one.

What's she doing here?

Thanks. I didn't want to wake anybody up at the doorbell.

Well, that's okay. I was up anyway. But what are you doing up? Well, Sam's at

our own... night bowling tournament, and I heard a noise outside my house, and I

went out to check it out, and the wind blew the door shut and locked me out.

Oh, well, you might as well spend the night here, Alice. Everyone else is.

Hey, will you watch TV?

Is it too early for the late show or too late for the early show? No, I think

it'll make too much noise.

We could play a game.

Oh, that's a great idea.

You get the game.

belong here.

Lady, nobody does.

A, Sonny and Cher, B, Tarzan and Jane, or C, Anthony and Cleopatra? The answer

is C, Anthony and Cleopatra.

Next question, Brady Junkies. What was the name of Greg and Peter's baseball

team? A, the Rockets, B, the Smog Dogs, or C, the Aces?

Stay tuned. The answer's coming up after the next Brady Prize.
