Meredith Willson and Mel Blanc also appear in this Burns and Allen episode, broadcast on December 12, 1946 on CBS and NBC Radio. The story follows Gracie's attempts to handle the babies, with her unusual filing system and her confident advice drawn from radio programs and anecdotes.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
