There is a love triangle in the Corbett household. Eddie has a new babysitter, fifteen year old Glori, a recent transplant from New York. Glori is the best babysitter that Eddie has ever had, and admits to Tom that he wants to marry her since he and she think alike. Glori has great fun with Eddie as well, and even offers to babysit for free. But Glori has her romantic eyes on someone else: Tom. Eddie asks Glori to marry him, although he realizes they would have to wait, eighteen years to be precise. Glori lets Eddie down easy, saying that eighteen years is a long time to wait. She proposes another option to Eddie: instead of being Eddie's wife, she wants to be Eddie's mother, stating that way they wouldn't have to wait eighteen years for it to happen. Eddie loves the idea, but Glori swears him to secrecy. However, perceptive Mrs. Livingston tells Tom that she's pretty sure that Glori has a crush on him. Tom eventually sees it, so he implements a plan to make himself appear old and stodgy in Glori's eyes. Glori overhears Tom talking about this; she's embarrassed, but a few comforting and supportive words from Tom is all that's required to boost her self-confidence as an emerging strong, young woman.
