The Waltons (1971–1981): Season 6, Episode 22 - Grandma Comes Home - full transcript

Grandma returns from the hospital but the family does not let her do anything. (Ellen Colby recovered enough from her stoke to return to the series.) An overweight boy is interested in Elizabeth. (This is Will Geer's last episode.)

She'll be coming round the
mountain when she comes

She'll be coming round the mountain
She'll be coming round the mountain

She'll be driving six white
horses when she comes

- Grandpa.
- Come in.

Grandpa, breakfast is ready.

I'll be with you in two shakes
of your pigtails, Elizabeth,

but I'm so excited, I don't
think I could eat anything.

Grandpa, are you sure
Grandma's coming home this time?

Of course she's coming home, the
doctor said so over the telephone.

- Erin heard him say so.
- That's what they said last time.

We'll show them,
old woman, won't we?



A house alone
has little meaning,

it's the people who live there who
bring it to life and give it character.

All during my grandmother's
absence, our house, and everyone in it,

seemed to long for her return.

Grandpa never stopped hoping
that she would come home,

and finally there came a day when
his prayers were to be answered.

There's plenty of
porridge, Grandpa.

I can't manage much
more than coffee.

My stomach's got so many butterflies
in it, I'm practically airborne.

We're all excited, Pa.

Ma's been gone a lot
longer than anybody figured.

She hasn't even seen the baby.

She's hasn't even seen my car.

She wouldn't be coming home now if I
hadn't put the pressure on the hospital.



Well, I just hope you're not
bringing her home too soon.

Esther hasn't spoken a word
since the morning she had the stroke.

The hospital's been taking
care of her for months,

it's time we had a turn at it.

Well, it takes a long
time to overcome aphasia.

A what?

Elizabeth, that's the medical term
used for what's wrong with Grandma.

You remember, Elizabeth,
means she can't speak clearly.

It happens to a lot of people
when they have a stroke.

The side of her brain that
controls her speech is damaged,

and so the other side
has to learn to take over.

Like a spare tire.

Nothing to joke about, Jim-Bob.

I didn't mean it to be a joke.

Well, we all got to pitch in
and help take care of her.

With a little peace and quiet,
and tender loving and care,

she'll soon be her usual self.

Pa, are you sure don't want
me to go along with you?

I don't think so, Son, no.

I fetched Esther up on
the Mountain the first time,

and I will bring her back again.

I leave as one, return as two.

Wild horses can't stop
him when he gets like that.

I'm going to start
cleaning Grandma's room.

I'll come help you, Erin,
when I feed John Curtis.

Come on, Jim-Bob.

Let's go clean up out front.

I'm gonna go work
in the mill, Daddy.

Why don't you get
Ma's rocking chair?

- We'll polish it up for her.
- That's a good idea.

I've got to go do my chores
so I can get ready for 4-H.

You know, it's a
big responsibility.

The doctor's only letting Ma come
home because Pa badgered him into it.

Well, it'll do her
good to be home.

Jim-Bob, we just dusted in here!

Yeah, well, you know how
Grandma likes the porch swept clean.

But she doesn't sweep
the dust back into the house.

Really, Jim-Bob.

Dear Esther is coming home.

This very afternoon?

And Grandpa's over there
picking her up right now.

Well, I understand that your grandmother
is having difficulty communicating.

Well, it's true,
Grandma can't talk,

but she's never had any
trouble communicating.

After Papa had his stroke,
whenever he wanted anything,

he'd just pound on
the floor with his cane.

Sister, I don't think anyone is
interested in our family history.

Well, he did, Sister.

There's still the crack he
made in the dining room ceiling.

Jason, do you suppose Esther
could use Papa's old cane?

Well, Miss Emily, when
Grandma comes home,

she's gonna be back in her old room
again, and that's on the ground floor,

so I don't think we'll
have to worry about that.

- Thanks, Corabeth.
- Excuse me, Miss Mamie.

Here, Jason, I got
everything that's on the list.

Oh, thanks, Ike.

I got to be getting along,
Mama's waiting for these.

- See you all later.
- Bye.

Goodbye.

Give your grandmother
our regards.

Oh, I will, thanks, Corabeth.

Poor thing.

To be deprived the power of
speech must indeed be a sore trial.

Well, that might be true for most
women, but if I know Esther well,

she'll get her two cents
worth in, one way or the other.

Oh.

Mama, what's happening to me?

I wanted to wear this dress
Grandma made for me, but look!

Oh, I guess we can't
take the hem out anymore.

Wish you could take me in some.

I look like a skinny chicken.

You do not look
like a skinny chicken.

I wish all these growing pains would
stop and I could feel like a real person.

Don't you feel
like a real person?

Hmm?

Well, it's just some days, it feels
like I'm growing a mile a minute.

Makes my head spin.

Mary Ellen used to say the same
thing when she was your age.

What about the dress?

Don't think there's much
we can do about that dress.

When do you think Grandma will
make be able to make me a new one?

Not for a while.

Besides, I thought you were going to
take up sewing for your 4-H project?

I'd rather raise an animal.

Well, there aren't any
young animals around here.

And I think you should get started
learning something about sewing.

This morning's when we
sign up for our projects.

Will I miss Grandma coming home?

You'll be back in plenty of time.
Now, go change into something else.

I will, but it won't
do any good.

Now I know why they
call this the awkward age.

There you go.

I want you to smile real
pretty for your great-grandma.

It's the first time
she's ever seen you.

Sit still.

Yeah, that's cute, yeah.

Grandma's done a lot of
rocking in this old chair.

I remember from way
back when I was little.

Every last one of you
got rocked to sleep in it.

And when you had tears,
had colic or scraped a knee,

she'd tell you stories
when you couldn't sleep.

It's been a long time since
she's rocked in this chair.

Yeah, I expect she'll be
real glad to see it again.

Maybe we can all get together and
take turns and read stories to her.

Uh-huh.

Important thing is to behave
yourselves, not get her all upset.

I get it, Daddy. No
teasing or goofing around.

No, or coming in late
from The Dew Drop Inn.

She's coming, everybody!

She's coming! She's coming!

Hey, she's coming, Jason!

Hey! Hey, everybody!

Grandma's coming home! Mama,
Mary Ellen, Erin, come on, everybody.

Grandma's home!

Daddy, Ben, come on!

Come on. Here, here.

Mary Ellen, Erin.

John Curtis, this is a fine time for
you to give in to a biological urge.

Well, you can't meet your great-
grandmother with your pants wet.

Come on.

- Welcome home!
- Grandma!

- Hi, Grandma!
- Grandma!

Hey, come on, everybody,
you're not letting Grandma

get a word in edgewise!

Sorry, Grandma, I
didn't mean to say that.

Hi, Grandma.

Come on, come on in.

Come on, let's get in the house.

The house is so spic
and span, the girls...

Upsy-daisy.

Heavenly Father, we are most grateful to
have our Esther back home with us again,

feel her loving presence
around our table.

For in the beginning,
this family was born of her,

and still gains strength and
courage through her loving affection.

Once again, O Lord, we are
grateful that this family's chains

are forged together
through suffering and pain.

But here we are, O Lord, giving, rejoicing
for all of our blessings, forevermore.

- Amen.
- Amen.

It's good to see you still
like Liv's dumplings, Ma.

Mmm.

After all that hospital food, home
cooking must taste pretty good.

The Ladies' Aid Society
gave a supper the other night.

We sure missed your
potato salad, Grandma.

Mighty good of
you to say so, Liv.

Grandma, could you
please pass me the butter?

There you are.

Have you told your grandma
about the 4-H club yet, honey?

No, we had our
first meeting today.

Did you learn your slogan, yet?

I pledge my head
to clearer thinking,

my heart to greater loyalty,

my hands to larger service,

my health to better living,

for my club, my
community, and my country.

Elizabeth's gonna learn to sew.

I changed my mind
about that, Mama.

Excuse me, I hear
the baby crying.

We can all hear him.
Sometimes we hear him all night.

He's a very good baby, Ben.

He sleeps through the
night, most of the time,

except when you come in
late from The Dew Drop Inn

and stumble up the stairs.

You better look out, Mary
Ellen. I'm gonna get you for that.

Oh, I'll get it. It's
probably Clarence.

Old Porky Dutter. I wonder
what he's doing here.

His name is Clarence,
Jim-Bob, and he's a very nice boy.

Yes, Mama.

Sorry I couldn't get over sooner,
Elizabeth. I had a lot of chores.

- Did you bring him?
- In here.

Come on in, Clarence,
have a piece of pie.

What kind you got?

Chocolate, and
there's plenty of it, here.

Give him to me. I'll
take him out back.

What you got there, Elizabeth?

Clarence bring you a
token of his affection?

No, it's Jay-Bez.

Clarence is giving him to me.

- Him?
- Is that what I think...

Elizabeth, what's in that sack?

- It's a little piggy.
- It's a piggy!

- What are you doing with a pig?
- Oh, no!

- Well, he's my 4-H project.
- I thought you were gonna do sewing.

Now we know what we're
having for breakfast tomorrow.

Oink! Oink! Oink!

Pig in a parlor, Esther.

Elizabeth, get that
thing out of here.

Get that pig out of here.

- Get that out of the kitchen.
- Oink, oink, oink!

Nice to be home isn't it, Ma?

Here you are.

How'd you ever
get off by yourself?

Pa's been sticking to you
like flypaper all afternoon.

You warm enough, Ma?

Don't want you coming
down with something

now that we've
finally got you home.

Lordy, sometimes I think the crickets
are going to take over the world.

You remember when Ben and me

used to have those cricket races
out in the barn when we were kids?

Everything was all right till
you caught us gambling on them,

and that was the end of that.

Oh, Ma.

Where does the time go?

I don't mind telling you, Ma.

I miss hearing the
sound of your voice.

But the doctor
says it won't be long

before you'll be bossing us
around just like you used to.

Meantime, I guess

we'll find out there's nothing
to be afraid of in silence.

Sometimes just being near
each other is what really counts.

Here we are.

Esther, I'll tell you one thing,

be the first time in a long time

that I won't be suffering
from having cold feet.

Oh, Esther, dear.

Oh, I have missed you.

What's this you got here?

Oh, I see, it's a diary
you've been writing in.

It's private? You don't
want anybody to look at it?

I wouldn't dream of peeking at
it. Come over here, I'll tuck you in.

Just like old times, eh?

You know, for a long while,
Esther, I just didn't have the heart

to sleep here in this bed by
myself. Just couldn't get around to it.

And then, I got over
that, after a while.

Then, a little later on, I just couldn't
bear to seem to spread myself out.

Then I got over that.

I knew all along, I've got
to save this place for you.

And here we are.

Esther dear, I just
pined away for you,

I can't tell you how much.

All this while, I didn't have
an eye for anyone else but you.

Of course, there was
that Zuleika Dunbar,

she did come by once or twice, to
find out how you was getting along.

I didn't really mean to
invite her into the house,

but it seems I
shouldn't ignore her,

because she'd baked me
some of that carrot cake of hers.

And I found out, too, that carrot cake of
hers isn't near as good as yours, Esther.

Oh, you know how she is.

"Oh, what a handsome
man, you are, Mr. Walton.

"You just don't show your
age at all, Mr. Walton."

Of course, Mary Ellen was right
there in the parlor with us all the time,

except for once, when she had to
go upstairs to see to John Curtis.

Esther, you sure
you're feeling all right?

You just don't seem to
be getting mad at me at all.

Grandma, we just
wanted to tell you again

how glad we are to have you
home, and to say good night.

Good night, Grandma.
- Sweet dreams.

- Sleep well, Grandma.
- Welcome home, Grandma.

Goodnight, Grandma.

Our prayers have been
answered, Grandma.

Mighty glad to have you
home, Ma. Good night.

Esther just wants to tell you good
night to you all and God bless you all.

Esther? Esther?

Oh, I was worried, you
were sleeping so still.

Go back to sleep.

Esther,

I do love you so.

What a friend we have in Jesus

All our sins and griefs to bear

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer

Oh, what peace we often forfeit

Oh, what needless pain we bear

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer

Amen

Please be seated.

Yes, indeed, what a
friend we have in Jesus.

And today we welcome
back a friend of his,

a lady who helped build
this house of worship,

who's a pillar to her family
and to her entire community.

Esther Walton, welcome home.

I'd be honored to have you
stand with me after the service

today and greet your
friends and neighbors.

Jay-Bez! Jay-Bez!

Jay-Bez!

Jay-Bez!

Mama, I can't find Jay-Bez.

- Did you look in his pen?
- Mama, he's not there.

Well, you don't have time
to look for him now, anyway,

you ought to be on
your way to school.

Grandma, I'll get that.

But he's gone off somewhere.

Well, he'll come back
when he's hungry.

I wish you were as interested in
your sewing as you are in that pig.

- You wanna wash or...
- I'll let you dry.

Oh, Grandma, never mind
that. Erin and I will do the dishes.

You just relax, it's okay.

I'll get it, Grandma.

- Where did you find him?
- He came home.

Pigs do that sometimes.

- Want me to put him back in his pen?
- Would you?

- Want to walk to school?
- Uh, I'm not quite ready, yet.

You'd better go ahead.

Thanks for bringing back
Jay-Bez. I'll see you at recess.

See you later.

What do you mean
you're not ready for school?

I didn't wanna walk with him, Mama.
All the kids make fun of Clarence.

That makes no
difference. He's a friend.

He was nice enough to give you that
pig and he brought it back home again.

Now, you run and
catch up with him.

All right.

You all right, Grandma?

- Mary Ellen, I think I'll dry this time.
- No.

Grandma, don't you worry
about sweeping the porch.

I'll do that. Come
over here and sit down.

Grandma, give me the broom.

Grandma, the broom.

Come on. Have a seat.

There you go. Now,
isn't that better?

We searched our minds, Esther,

for something you
would really enjoy.

And something that would be
good for you at the same time.

Oh, my land, what a beautiful
jug of the Recipe. Beautiful.

The decanter, I mean.

We remembered that poor Papa,

after he had his stroke, just
about lived on the Recipe.

- And he lasted for 15 years.
- More.

It has great medicinal
properties, you know.

Oh, yes, the Recipe is definitely
known for its curative powers.

Esther thanks you.

I think.

Sister and I felt that you
must be anxious to know

what the Ladies' Aid
Society has been up to.

So, we brought the minutes of
the meetings you have missed.

Now, you must tell us,
Esther, if you're tired.

Now, let me see.

"The meeting was called to
order by Corabeth Godsey."

Let's see, this
was just last week.

No, Sister, I think it
was the week before.

Oh, no, dear, it was last week.

It was the day
that the wind blew

the big branch off the elm tree.

"Elsie Wainwright reported
on the progress of the garden..."

John, there is something
wrong with Esther.

She just handed me
this bottle of Recipe

with a great big
smile on her face.

Kind of takes the pleasure
out of having a drink.

Maybe she's so happy to be
home, Pa, she wants you to have it.

Oh, no, no, not
the Esther I know.

No, no matter what you
see, she is not the same.

I am beginning to think that I
brought home the wrong old woman.

"At this point, Mrs.
Godsey asked for a report

"from the rummage
sale committee."

We have a rummage sale
coming up in about three weeks.

Daddy, sure you don't want me to
go along with you on this delivery?

Your grandpa's gonna help, Son.

Need you here to do some
paperwork on those new orders.

- Wish he'd get a move on.
- He's still giving Grandma a bath.

He won't let her do
anything on her own.

She took care of us for years. It's
time she had some taking care of.

Here we are. Sit right out
here on the porch, Esther,

till we come back. Make
yourself comfortable.

I am sorry to have to leave you
for even part of a day, Esther,

but Ben will be in
charge around here,

and Mary Ellen and young John will
take care of anything that you would want.

And I'll be back this afternoon,
in time to tuck you in for your nap.

Give me a kiss.

I'm going into town with John
and Grandpa to do some shopping.

- You wanna come?
- No, no, no.

Esther better stay right here and rest,
be in shape to see the doctor tomorrow.

Next time.

Now, Ben, you take good
care of your grandma.

Oh, I know, Grandpa. Daddy
already gave me the orders.

Nothing to worry about, Pa.

The kids can take care
of Ma as good as you can.

Nobody can take care
of Esther as well as I can.

I hate leaving Grandma behind.

The ride would
be too hard on her.

What's even harder on her is all
this mollycoddling we're doing to her.

Grandpa sure has come alive
since you've came home, Grandma.

Thank you, Ben.

What you being so
nice about, today?

I'm just thinking of a way to get
back at you for snitching to Grandma

about me going to
The Dew Drop Inn.

Good luck, Brother. I
know all your tricks by now.

Hey, there, John Curtis,
would you like your bottle?

You wouldn't believe how
hungry he gets, Grandma.

Here you go.

Don't be such a
pig, John Curtis.

Grandma, I'm gonna
go bring in the laundry.

Will you watch him for me?

John Curtis.

Here, Grandma, you
wanna hold John Curtis?

Yes.

Oh, look, the
wheel needs fixing.

I have to go fix
the wheel, okay?

Hey, Mary Ellen, something's
wrong with John Curtis.

Take a look at him.

What's the matter, is
something wrong with his bottle?

Beats me.

Hey, come on, get out of my car!

I'm going to get you, Ben!

Jay-Bez! Come back here!

You take... I'm gonna
get you, yet, Ben.

Ben! Ben, Jay-Bez is
loose! Help me find him.

Grandma, how could you
let Ben do a thing like that?

Come on, sweetheart. We'll give
you your bottle and put you to bed.

And then I gonna knock
Ben from here to Faber.

Hello. Is someone there?

Who is it? Who's there?

Grandma? Is that you?

Where is everybody?

Grandma?

Hey, Grandma, you've never
even been for a ride in my car.

I just got it fixed. Would
you like to go for a ride?

Shall we?

Watch your step, now.

Well, how do you like it?

Hello. Is Sheriff Bridges there?

Listen, Ep, do you think you could find
my folks and give them a message for me?

Jay-Bez! I'm sure he
came around this way.

Well, there he is!

I can't get out!

That pig.

You're a mess.

Let's go home.

What do you think, Grandma?

Would you like to learn
to drive some time?

Maybe I'll teach you some time.

Grandma?

Grandma?

Grandma?

I knew we should
have brought her.

Oh, dear, what could
have happened?

Hold on, you two, we're
not sure anything happened.

Any rate, don't spare
the horses, get going.

Grandma?

Want some help?

What are you doing here?

I brought Jay-Bez
back. He's in the pen.

- Where is everybody?
- Beats me.

Well, at least we
know where the pig is.

Mary Ellen!

Where's your
grandma? Is she all right?

I don't know. I was
just looking for her.

Well, isn't she here?

Well, I went upstairs
to take care of the baby,

when I came back
down she was gone.

- Where's Ben?
- Haven't seen him either, lately, that is.

Oh, Lord, I hope she
hasn't wandered off.

Better start looking for them.

Esther, what on Earth
have you been up to?

- Where have you two been?
- Are you all right?

Just went for a little ride.
Grandma thought it was great.

Well, you should
have told someone.

Yeah, but there was
nobody around to tell.

Look.

That boy's got more
explaining to do than I thought.

Guess I'd better go fill a tub.

Well, Ben got exactly
what he deserves.

All right, what happened?

We were chasing Jay-Bez.
Ben fell in the swamp.

Jay-Bez came home again.
I put him back in his pen.

How did he get out of the pen?

Some pigs are awful smart.

It was my fault
this time, Elizabeth.

See, I was playing
a trick on Mary Ellen.

Whatever it is, you're
in plenty of hot water.

We better have
a talk. All of us.

Does he mean me, too?

No, Clarence, this is
strictly a Walton pow-wow.

You don't know
how lucky you are.

Ben, I thought you were
in charge around here.

You shouldn't be running off,
leaving your grandma alone.

I'm sorry, Daddy.

Mary Ellen, I thought I
could depend on you.

I'm sorry, Daddy.

It's not me you should be
apologizing to, but your grandma.

- I'm sorry, Grandma.
- I'm sorry, Grandma.

It's my fault, John. I
shouldn't have left her alone.

Jim-Bob, you're taking
an awful responsibility

running off like that.

Sorry, Dad.

I know you young-uns mean well,

but your grandma just isn't up
to your shenanigans, these days.

Look, now, you
just got her all upset.

Come along, Esther, it's
time for your nap, anyway.

Come along.

Well, hello, Esther.

I hope we're not
coming to call too soon.

Oh, just look at you, Esther
Walton, surrounded by all your family.

What a picture you make.

I know that you must be
overjoyed to be home again.

He did it again.

Guess Jay-Bez is just a
natural born homing pig.

He's ruining all my 4-H records.
He keeps running off all his fat.

That's not good, for a pig.

I should have
told you, Elizabeth.

I knew Jay-Bez would come back.

Pa tried to sell him before, and
he kept coming home all the time.

Well, then why'd
you give him to me?

I thought it would get me a
chance to see you once in a while.

Well, you see me
all the time at school.

It didn't seem like enough.

I could look at
you all the time.

- At me?
- I think you're beautiful.

And I'm only the school fat kid.

It's the inside that counts. I think
you've got a thin soul, Clarence.

You're not mad about Jay-Bez?

Well, I suppose we can
keep him at your place.

I can come over with the feed.
We can take care of him together.

- We can be partners.
- Okay!

- Shake, partner!
- Shake.

Uh-oh, he's gone again!

I'll bet I can find
him. I'll race you.

Am I interrupting something?

Thought you might wanna
help me snap some beans.

It's kind of nice having
company for sitting down chores.

There's more than
one way to skin a cat.

There's no need to rush, Grandma.
Take all morning, if you want to.

All afternoon, for that matter.

Don't get upset. You don't
have to rush, you know.

It took me a long
time when I had polio

before I could put one foot in front
of the other without thinking about it.

Sorry, Grandma.

You want more to do?

Do Me, me... Need me.

Need me.

- Need you?
- Yes.

Oh, Grandma, we do need you.

You don't think
anybody needs you?

All right. It's all right.

It's all right, Grandma.

It's all right.

- Do I smell coffee?
- I sure hope so.

Well, morning, Pa.

Morning, children.

Yes, I made some
coffee. I'll fetch you some.

Catch any worms, Pa?

I didn't get up early.
I've been up all night.

I couldn't sleep. Been reading.

- Is that Grandma's journal?
- Yeah. Yes, I must admit it is.

I shouldn't have looked into
it, but I was getting desperate.

She's been writing this
journal for a long time, now.

I never once looked into it.

But there comes a time when
a secret isn't a secret anymore.

I was hoping I might find out from
here what was wrong with your ma.

What did you find out?

Right here.

Just a few days before she come
home from the hospital, she wrote down,

"I have come to realize that
my loss of speech is punishment

"for having been
sharp-tongued in the past."

"I have made a solemn
promise to the Lord

"that if he allows
me to go home,

"I will always be uncomplaining
with my family and friends,

"and not force my
opinions on others."

And that is exactly
what she's been doing.

Always smiling and
agreeable, never complaining.

No wonder she can't talk.

She's got it all locked
up here inside...

Is that all, Esther?

What kind of a promise you
have made, if you don't get mad

when I've been prying into
your most private thoughts?

I've seen the time, if I did a thing
like this, you'd have hauled off

and walloped me with the first
thing you could get your hands on.

You always were
stubborn as a mule!

Ma never did made a
promise she didn't keep.

You know, Grandpa, I think we're
all kind of guilty of over-protecting her.

What are you talking about, Liv?
We have treated her like a queen.

More like an invalid.

We shove her
into that old rocker.

Every time she tries to do something,
somebody rushes in to give her a hand.

She might as well not even
get out of bed in the morning.

Just trying to do
what's best for her, Liv.

When you're older, you need to
feel like you're good for something,

like you're needed. We taken
that away from her, Grandpa.

Esther?

Now, there are a lot of things
around here that are not right,

and I'll admit to being
wrong to about half of them.

However, I would
like to point out to you

it was the good Lord himself that
made you the sharp-tongued woman

that you were.

He did it to add
flavor to this family,

the way you put salt or pepper in
a stew to keep it from being so flat.

And if he did take
away your speech,

maybe he did it as a
lesson to us, not to you.

And by golly, we need a
little seasoning around here,

otherwise life would be just
too dull, tasteless, without it.

Now, Esther,

maybe you did make a
promise to the good Lord

that everything would
be sweetness and light

if he'd just let you come
home from the hospital.

However, I also made
a promise to the Lord,

that I would let you sit in
the sun and not lift a finger,

if he'd just let you get well
enough to come back with me.

However, I am going to break that
promise and ask the Lord's forgiveness,

and I hope you do likewise.

Old woman, if you
want any breakfast,

you better start sweeping
this porch and earn your keep!

And that's the way it's
going to be from now on out.

You've come home, Esther!

You've come home!

You old fool.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

My grandmother had
finally come home,

and once again she
became her old self,

giving us the benefit
of her wisdom and love.

That old house will
always live in my memory,

especially when it comes
time to say good night.

This little piggy
went to market.

Good night, Jim-Bob.

And this little
piggy stayed home.

Night, Jason. Night, Ben.

This little piggy
had roast beef.

Good night, Erin.
Good night, Mary Ellen.

And this little piggy
went wee-wee-wee,

all the way home to Clarence's.

Good night, Grandpa.

Good night, Grandma.

Good night, Ma.

Good night, everyone.
