Transcript

Mother, why do Daddy switch to post them? Your father says there's no caffeine in post them, nothing to spoil your sleep. And your father knows best. Yes, it's father knows best. Transcribed in Hollywood starring Robert Young as father.

A half hour visit with your neighbors the Andeses, brought to you by Instant Post them. The good tasting drink that's entirely caffeine-free, and by post 40% brand flakes. America's largest selling brand plate. How true it is that the other person's job always looks easier than our own.

And it's always such a simple matter to tell the other person what to do and how to do it. Just observe what's going on at the White Frame House on Maple Street this Friday morning.

The Anderson family is at breakfast and things are fairly normal. But just what? We're in the Anderson's breakfast room where Margaret is saying... So then I called for volunteers to head up our next paper drive.

First I called on Mrs. Gibson to volunteer Gibson to volunteer and she said she had relatives coming from the east. That's the syrup please. Then I called on Mrs. Carlton to volunteer and she said she has a two year old child and goes to a ceramics class and I don't know what all.

That's the syrup dad. The whole trouble is that there are about four or five women who do all the work and I hate to keep planning things on them. Pass the syrup bud. I'm not done yet.

Well hurry up, you're just supposed to put a little syrup on top of your hotcakes, not floats a minute. Keep your rompers on, Tallulah. I guess I could ask Mrs. Davis to head up the paper drive, but after the way the last one got bold up, I hate to ask her.
