Simon is looking for an available seat on a city bus. After making flirtatious eye contact with a pretty blonde who must have borrowed Annie's hair for the day, he sits down next to the girl. Her name is Sally, and she is sixteen years old. She says she's attending "tech school," studying to be a nurse. After this soul-baring forty-two-second-long conversation, Sally announces that her stop is coming up. Before she gets off the bus, though, she takes out a giant, ugly, pink pen and scribbles down her phone number for Simon. It's cool that the female is the one to ask for a date this time, though I can't say much for her choice in men. As Sally stands up, the camera closes in on her belly, and we see that she is pregnant. Simon gawks at her as she's walking away. Just in case you'd already drifted off and missed the fact that Sally is pregnant, we get another long shot of her in profile. Are you shocked and appalled? Me neither. It looks like Simon is, though. He stares thoughtfully at the piece of paper with Sally's number on it for a while before crumpling it up. Are you feeling sympathetic for anyone yet?

The opening song is followed by a commercial for Maalox. Expect sales of Maalox to soar this week.

So what do the writers have planned as the traditional time-wasting background scenes for tonight's guest-star credits? It's not nearly as bad as it usually is. Annie is sitting at the CamKitchen table, her chin propped on her hands while she stares morosely into space. At least she looks good, and there's a pretty shot of a window box filled with flowers. How sad, though, that this will probably be the high point of the show. Various CamKids walk through the kitchen, and SuperMom almost psychically reminds them to pick up objects they will need for their day's activities. Her newfound extrasensory perception must be one of the lesser-known side effects of menopause. We see Ruthie standing in the upstairs hallway, waiting to leer at Robbie leaving the bathroom after his morning shower. His scrawny, naked chest is not something I need to see in the morning -- or at any other time of day, really. There's a shot of Lucy walking downstairs to the CamKitchen. She must have put on Ruthie's shirt by mistake. I say this not because it's one of the uglier garments I've ever encountered, but because it's about four sizes too small for her. Annie just says, "Counter," indicating that the car keys Lucy needs are on the counter. In case you haven't already derived enough gleeful entertainment from seeing how the CamPound operates like a well-oiled machine in the mornings, now you can howl with delight as Annie looks at her watch and starts to call out to Eric -- exactly at the same moment he bellows out her name. Even though he's not experiencing menopause yet, Robbie's got the whole psychic thing going on too, as he deduces that Eric is looking for outfits for the twins. But then, Robbie and Eric have always had a certain magic between them.
