For fear of little men

You see...

Nobody ever goes in...

and nobody ever comes out!

Charlie's late.

He works too hard for a little boy.

He should have some time to play.

Not enough hours in the day.

With the four of you bedridden for the past twenty years,

it takes a lot of work to keep this family going.

If only his father were alive.

Soon as I get my strength back, I'm gonna get out of this bed and help him.

Dad, in all the years you've been saying you're going to get out of that bed,

I've yet to see you set foot on the floor.

Well... maybe if the floor wasn't so cold.

Hi, everybody!

Wake up. Charlie's home!

Grandpa George.

Grandma Georgina.

Grandma Josephine.
