Kristy, would you please come in here

for a minute?

What?

Where were you?

l had to pick up some stuff for the camp.

You forgot to pick up

something pretty important.

Like your brother.

ls he okay?

He tried to come home by himself.

l dont want to think

about what wouldve happened...

if Mr. Kishi hadnt found him

and brought him home.

Mom, lm really sorry.

l cant believe you let this happen.

What were you thinking?

David Michaels only seven.

What if something had happened to him?

He knows his way.

Nothing wouldve happened.

-How do you know?

-lt was a mistake, okay?

You cant make mistakes like that,

not with children.

-Especially with your younger brother.

-But David Michaels fine.

-He might not have been fine.

-l get the point, okay?

lts not like you to be so irresponsible.

l dont understand.

What has gotten into you lately?

Yeah, you dont understand.

You wouldnt understand!

Understand what? What dont l understand?

-Leave me alone!

-What dont l understand?

lm not gonna leave you alone.

l am your father.

-l want to know whats going on.

-Youre not my father!

l felt horrible about David Michael

and what l said to Watson.

And l knew if Claud didnt pass

itd be mostly my fault.

l saw a tree eat a dog.

-What kind of dog?

-A green one.

-Excuse me.

-l once ate an anthill.

Did you get bad breath?

You look very pretty today.

And l love what youre doing

for the environment.

Thank you, Alan.

Yeah. lt makes me wanna fly.

lts cool your folks are letting us

use the cabin.

My moms gonna drive us out,

and she promised...

shed keep my brothers out of our way.

Kristy is gonna have the best birthday.

-l dont know if she deserves it.

-Believe me, she deserves it.

Shes coming.

Guys, Luca asked me

to go to New York with him.

-No way!

-Are you gonna go?

l dont know. lf my mom says

its okay with my dad, she might let me...

if Claudia comes.

Me? l cant. l have to study.

lts not till after your test.

Today, using the BSC quick-study method...

youre gonna learn about the human body!

-Dont bother. lt doesnt interest me.

-Does the Baby-sitters Club interest you?

-lts my life.

-Then get interested.

Claud didnt know that we had come up

with a BSC emergency plan...

that would make it impossible for her to fail.

lf you wanna run, if you wanna jump

You gotta get your left

and right ventricles to pump

Through the heart, the center of it all

-Surprised?

-Yep.

And you might just fall

Down to the ground

which will cause you pain

But thatll never happen

if you use your brain

The brain, the brain, the center of the chain

Thatll never happen if you use your brain

Neurons run through the cortex

into the frontal lobe

Past the hypothalamus, its good to go

lnto the cerebellum

its the best thing that could happen

Cause were the baby-sitters

and well always be rappin

And singing and thinking is the best

Now you better go and study

so you pass your science test

Now you better go and study

so you pass your science test

lf you do your homework

you can almost feel it

Pumping to the brain, pumping to the brain

The brain, the brain, the center of the chain

The brain, the brain, the center of the chain

The brain, the brain, the center of the chain

The brain, the brain, the center of the chain

The brain, the brain, the center of the chain

-You guys. All your lucky stuff.

-We hope they help.

Here, Claud. Theyre my lucky shoelaces.

l was wearing them

when l got my first home run.

Thanks, guys.

-l could use all the help l can get.

-Were with you, Claud.

The neurons run through the cortex

into the frontal lobe

-Past the hypothalamus its good to go

-lts good to go, into the cerebellum....

The brain, the brain, the center of the chain

-Hey, Claud.

-Hi, Kristy.

-Howd the test go?

-l think okay.

Thats great. So what are you doing?

Staceys mom is here

and we may go to New York.

So l cant talk. Bye.

-Hello?

-Mary Anne?

Kristy, whats up?

Nothing. l just talked to Claudia.

She sounded kind of weird.

Are you okay?

Yeah. No.

All this sneaking around,

l just feel like a rat.

So do l.

Theyre ganging up on me, too.
