Original Air Date: March 2, 1974
Laurie wants to go skiing, but is committed to baby-sit. Her efforts to con
Danny or Keith into working in her place are futile.
Keith also has a problem. He met a new girl at school, Karen, and invited her
to a party, only to learn that she is bringing an escort. Danny suggests that
Keith get another date to make Karen jealous. He tries every number in his
phone book to no avail. As a last resort, Keith makes a deal with Laurie -- if
she will pose as his date, he'll baby-sit.
Danny complicates matters by telling Karen that Keith's date is a beautiful
southern belle, Lauriebelle Culpepper. At the party all is going well when
"Lauriebelle" slips and calls Shirley "Mom" bringing
Shirley into the charade as "Mother Culpepper."
Keith is sure he has been successful when Karen dances with him and invites
him to her house -- until he learns that the invitation is to engagement
party!
