1. Five Little Peppers

When I checked out the guide on television this morning, I could have sworn it said, "The Five Little Puppies and How They Grew!" That would have been a movie about my house! Merry Christmas!

3. Look at your wonderful family!

and how svelte you are!! All your babies are all decked out in their Christmas finery, I see- Thanks for sharing!!:hug:

2. I remember finding "Bachelor Mother" very revealing, sociologically

but now I can't remember exactly what it was. (Revealing my forgetfulness.)

I think it was a scene where she's outside somebody's house (?) and mistaken IDs and misunderstandings that lead someone to believe she was a single mother -- and the horrors and titillation in the scene seemed funny, both funny "haha" and funny "odd," in the historical sense.

But I can't remember exactly. :dunce: If I can stay up, I'll watch some of it again.

4. I think I'll have to DVR it-

its past my bedtime already, even though its supposed to start in a few minutes. It sounds good, with Ginger Rodgers! :hi:
