More if you like I'm going to get up. Oh, it's a big rush today. We don't have good food anymore Remember, no goi trude no goi trude house ad. Oh, so sad First and Fritz will be coming tomorrow, but in the meantime, there's a lot to be done Numerate well want to get the house cleaned up nicely the beds made Fritz and birth is room ready and the baby fed out And there's cooking to be done Hey What are you doing getting back into bed? I'm exhausted just thinking about it. Get up get up woman There's work to be done. Oh, all right, but I'm dead on my feet Frankly, I'd rest more if it weren't that I want to get down to the kitchen make breakfast before mama does No, that's a noble thought. Yep. This is one day. I'm not going to let mama beat me to the draw I'm sick and tired of that woman doing all the work around here. She likes it I like it too, but that's not enough reason for her to keep on doing it Is it? It is not. I was afraid you'd say that I'm going to brush my teeth and go downstairs and get breakfast going and work like an express train No stops. You mean to say breakfast would be all ready for me by the time I get on stairs. Oh, Where's the toothpaste? David, where'd you put the toothpaste last night on the medicine chest where it belongs? Oh, why do you have to go and be so Need it's such a waste of time Mmm, don't you love toothpaste first thing in the morning? I can't hear what you're saying I said, don't you love toothpaste first thing in the morning? Oh, wonderful What y'all? I'm very much young. I even have an idea. No dinner. Yes. We're glad to dinner And that's one chore off your list. I'd love to go out for dinner. What do we do with the baby? Oh now? Where's my comb? Here it is. We'll take the baby along high time. He stepped out into society. Oh, I wouldn't mind Mama would be conscious and it's no way to bring up a child. She'd say well mama's right, but who cares? She cares I'll have to find out if there's a babysitter in the community if she's cute You take the baby and I'll stay at home fine by me Maybe the male woman would know of a babysitter or whatever happens That child is not going to interrupt the natural course of our lives. Hope not Hey, we want to go out to dinner. We go out to dinner and he can fan for himself poor child. He has to have more fenders than a car All right, I'm ready to go down and cook David. What are you? What on earth have you done? I haven't done anything David. This is awful. What is you've gone and done the beds Well, this is the day when all good men was pitching and help but you pitch too much Look what you've done. And what have I done got an unmade them torn them all apart I only did what you do every day. Well, that's different. You mean today. You weren't going to un-make the bed You're just going to re-tuck the man. Well, mine was hardly even must up I said very carefully on purpose on purpose because there's no Gertrude today. Maybe Maybe a little cheat tang the beds apart when there's someone else to put them together David don't look at me like that. I'm very fussy about beds generally. I know that's why I pulled them apart I tell you it's different today. Usually I have Gertrude. I have only me you are abysmal. All right I'm blushing now. Are you satisfied? It's dishonest all I can say is I'm certainly glad I took matters in my own hands I'm like the princess and the P who and what don't you know the story the princess who was so delicate that when Somebody put a P under the nine mattresses. She sleeps on she woke up all all bruised in the morning Poor princess and poor me Look at this room Blankets out the window sheets all over the chairs the pillows out of all the pillowcases. I just thought I'd do you one better Pay no attention. I'm going to set everything right and never let it never in your life Have you seen such a neat bed as I'm going to make this probably be so self-conscious I won't be able to sleep now first. I'm going to turn the mattress, but they've been turned when Gertrude turns them yesterday only yes. Do it if she can do it so can I David be careful the lamp on the night table is The mattress is standing on its side You're going to stand there all day holding it what do I do now? You're an architect you figure it out If I let it fall over that way it'll hit the night table It may well the object is to have it fall toward me and away from the lamp Then you have to run around to the other side of the bed I hear darling you hold the mattress while I run around. I will not this was your idea Of course if you would ask my advice The way to do it is to roll the bottom part of the mattress over towards the head of the bed Then pull apart the bottom the bed out from under like a pancake. Now. Why did you tell me that ten minutes ago? This was all your idea. Oh David you're gonna miss your train a night table or no here it goes Bullseye did anything break course everything broke must have all your fault you wouldn't help me. You're lucky this time It's only badly bruised good Well, that's one mattress that's turned over. I'm not going to lift a finger to help you with the other I wouldn't accept a finger. You wouldn't let's see which is the bottom sheet There it is and every corner will be squared Mrs. Oh, I like hospital corners better. No square corners like the army since when is this the army? Oh, it's voice David don't pull a sheet so tight. You'll rip it. Oh My best sheet that was well, it can't be so good if it tears so easily just a little rip now ignore it Just a little rip now, but wait until you catch your foot in it tonight David you forgot to put the pad on the bed. No Where does he go under the bottom sheet since when since always? Oh? Well, I'll just slip it in like a letter into an envelope They're not going to sleep very well tonight princess now wait till I'm finished You'll be so embarrassed for my talent in bed making you will never touch another bed I certainly won't I'll sleep on the floor. All right in you go pad between the sheet and the mattress now Lie down flat Hitting it won't help and it knows it's supposed to lie flat now get in there There we are now. I'll I'll tuck in the top corner Well, where's the other sheet right there on the chair? You wouldn't condescend to passing it over. No, I wouldn't condescend But I'll pass it over to you. Thanks Welcome. Oh It's a hot day. That's because you're exerting yourself so for once You know, you really get quite a bit of exercise and making a bed. I never realized I don't get any exercise making it Ah because you cheat Now where's the pillow right there right at your feet and the pillowcase Good heavens. It's like trying to get a banana into a To a banana peel doesn't it fit darling Claudia. Do you have to get pillowcases that are too small to fit the pillow? You look like a woman trying to fit into a girdle You give it to me now. I know what you're doing. You put the pillowcase in your mouth. I'm gonna keep it I'll do that. I don't bite a hole in it. I've got one corner in You're getting it in crooked. It'll never fit that way It's a matter of fact you have the top sheet on the bed Well, you don't sleep straight up and down in the bed either Well, I do and the bed I make you sleep parallel to the sheet rather than to the mattress See that you remind me of that tonight. I will What's the matter with this pillow? I think it over eight David's downing in your head isn't going to help Oh Now maybe it'll fit give it to me you ruffian Well, if I do give it to you It's only because I want to get to the other bed and get on to breakfast your poor pride is taking an awful beating this morning Isn't it darling nonsense Is that how you do it you fold the pillow that's right Once it's inside the pillowcase. I unfold it and tuck the corners in where they belong upon my soul and body It's so simple. Of course. It's simple. Why do you think I can do it? It's just know how to cover it stop bragging Now where are those con fun to blame hanging out the window? Oh, yes I want to shake them before putting them on the bed. What for get the dust out of them What do you think there isn't any dust up here? Connecticut not New York, New York, there's dust Don't have to be so energetic about I got away from me. I don't want you to take I just want you to stop You'll be dead all day stop get away from David. You let go. Hey catch it. Don't let it fall out Now I look like you've done. Oh What I've done the blanket is sitting on the roof of the breakfast porch. Oh looks lovely down there Doesn't it pink against the green so becoming charming so colorful. Why can't we always have it? How are you going to get it up? You mean how are you going to get it up? But you want me to drop you out the window All I can say is it's a good thing. There's a man in the house. Yes, isn't it without a man This would never have happened. That's not what I meant Now I'm going to make the other bed and you stay out of my way all you do is complicate David You're not going to turn the other mattress. Are you all right by should Turn one turn both. I won't tell anybody if you won't you can tell anybody you like anything you like Should turn this mattress Well, you said it's been turned recent. Oh very recent. Well, I'll turn it tomorrow. Oh, that's fine Here, I'll help you make the bed. I don't need your help now. Of course you don't I know you don't need it I just Want to help being an architect is much more Stringiest and being a housewife so don't get idea. I wouldn't dare Come in well Good morning, you good heavens. What's happened to this room? Mama you up, of course I'm up you've been having a pillow fight or something such a ridiculous question.

Oh, thank goodness for that David where you going back to bed my love? I Am completely Exhausted. Hey, don't do that. I have to make it all over again. Oh David, how could you after all my work? Sometimes impromptu parties turn out to be more fun than the most elaborate Prearranged affair one reason is that nobody has to go to much trouble when a party just grows on the spur of the moment If you keep plenty of coca-cola on ice You'll find yourself being a successful hostess without having to plan and fuss ahead of time Just phone a few friends put out the welcome mat and pleasant hours lie ahead How about getting a case of coke today to be ready for a hospitality? Mr. King could you tell me what's been going on? Well, it's it's a long long story. Mrs. Brown I must be to take a long long story to explain the condition of Claudia and David's room and the pink parachute And the pink parachute, but thank goodness. We won't have another morning like this one with Claudia and David How can you be sure because tomorrow Bertha and Fritz will arrive? Oh Bertha and Fritz coming.
