Mother, why did Daddy switch to post him? Your father says there's no caffeine in post him. Nothing to spoil your sleep. And your father knows best. Yes, it's father knows best. Transcribed in Hollywood starring Robert Young, his father.

A half hour visit with your neighbors the Anderson's. Brought to you by Instant Post him. The good tasting drink that's entirely caffeine free. And by post 40% brand flakes. America's largest selling brand flakes. Well, it's about 2 AM and not a creature is stirring in the White Frame House on Maple Street.

Not a creature is stirring at the moment anyway. It might be well to know at this point that the Andesans are about to prove the words of a certain philosopher who said, sleep, riches and health are only truly enjoyed after they have been interrupted.

It's yours, dear. Oh. Daddy. I'm coming, kitten. Now what's the trouble? Thirsty? No, but that's an idea. No fine. Oh, you'd better get back to sleep. I can't, Daddy. I just had a bad dream, and I'm afraid to go back to sleep.
