    Buffy And Jody Left Alone

    Cissy is left in charge of the twins while Uncle Bill and Mr French are away.

    A good episode. Cissy gets a chance to go to a Winter Carnival by private plane. She arranges for a baby sitter and thinks the kids will be alone for just an hour. After she leaves the baby sitter cancels. Buffy and Jody try to fend for themselves. They end up with cheese sandwiches and popcorn and Jody gets a stomach ache.
