Father Knows Best – It Pays To Borrow. ep76, 510405

Audio has spots where it cuts out, but only near the beginning, otherwise it’s good. Maybe a touch slow.

Jim Anderson is opposed to borrowing, and he’s vocal about it at the breakfast table. Kathy wants to know who her dad called a lamebrain, while Betty is in drama mode and adores the sunny morning. Jim’s griping turns to class pins, and being grateful for what you have. How is the missing waffle iron cord related to Bud’s missing algebra book? Borrowed items continue to frustrate Jim when a bicycle with a broken handlebar turns up in the basement. Holy cow, jumping creepers, gee whiz the kids are upset to have to stop their borrowing habits. Jim is suddenly caught up in his own borrowing mess with Hector.

Missing items begin turning up. How should Jim reconcile with Hector? Be dishonest? Truthful? An apology is a good start. Complications set in for Jim, and a missing sprayer, but is Kathy telling the truth about the bike in the basement? A long line of borrowing, and not returning makes Jim more guilty in the matter than any of his kids.

Margaret has the answer to Jim’s sprayer problem. Has everyone learned their lessons? After the bicycle mystery is solved, Jim reads statistics on automobile accidents.
