The Lady Esther Screen Guild Players in... Three as a Family. That's a pretty common occurrence these days. Kitty's like a lot of other girls whose husband are in uniform, except that Kitty has a bright idea.

I really ought to be with Jean. You'll be growing overseas almost any day now. Couldn't I just leave the baby here? Which brings up a rather critical problem. Who will take care of baby Susan?

And on that subject, everyone is agreed. Not me. I have to be at the office. That's Kitty's mother, a business lady. Not me. I don't know how to make them burp. That's Kitty's Aunt Irma, a maiden lady.

Not me. A used kid. And that's the cook. No lady at all. So now it's squarely up to Kitty's dad. But Sam Whittaker has a few plans of his own. They're trying to turn me into a nurse, mate Barney.

Now you can see the spot I'm in. I sure can, Sam. Yes, and that's not all. There's my son Archie. He and Hazel have the apartment below, as you know. And when their baby comes, they might want me to take care of that one, too.
