Sam, the doorbell.

What do you
suppose I do

when you're not home
to sound the alarm?

- Mrs. Stephens?
- Yes.

My name is Maude Hickman.

I'm with
the board of education.

Oh. Come in.

Thank you.

Oh, sw-sweetheart.

Uh, this is
Mr. Stephens.

This is Mrs. Hickman.

She's with
the board of education.

Oh.

It has come
to our attention

that you have a child
of school age

who is not enrolled
in school.

It's true.

Tabitha isn't in school,

but I've been
tutoring her at home.

Oh, I see.

And what are
your qualifications?

Do you have
a teaching certificate?

No, but I have
a birth certificate.

Tabitha's. It says
that I'm her mother.

And I think those are
pretty good qualifications.

But you have
no formal training.

As a mother?

You can make
jokes if you like,

but this is
a serious matter.

You're in violation
of the law, you know.

It's just that our
little girl is unique.

She's not your
run-of-the-mill child.

She has special talents
and we...

I did not come here to debate
with you, Mrs. Stephens.

Your child must be
registered in school at once.

If she is not,

a court order will be
issued directing you to do so.

Is that clear?

Yes, ma'am.

Good day.

- Mrs. Hickman.
- Yes?

- I'd like to ask you something.
- Oh.

How did you find out
Tabitha wasn't in school?

We have our ways.

Is one of them spying?

I would say

that getting the child out of
this house for most of the day

is probably the best thing
that could happen to her.

Sam, are you
out of your tree?

Well, I'm sorry,
but she made me furious

and I had to get it
off my chest.

Terrific. Now will you
kindly get it off her...

Okay, okay.

And now that
the high jinks are over,

what are we
gonna do about this?

I have
a simple solution.

Oh? What's that?

We don't have
any other choice.

I will enroll Tabitha
in school today.

Now, is Tabitha
ready for school?

Of course
she's ready for school.

The question is, is
school ready for Tabitha?

Tabitha,
do you remember

the promise you made
to daddy and me?

How could I forget? You
made me say it a hundred times.

I know,
and I'm sorry, sweetheart,

but it's for your sake
just as much as it is ours.

Okay, Mommy.

I'm to pay attention
to the teacher

and I'm not
supposed to fly.

No witchcraft
of any kind.

Okay, Mommy.

[Mrs. Peabody] Children, Mrs.
Peabody's trying to concentrate.

Hold it down, please.

Excuse me.

Not now.
Back to your group.

Well, we don't have
a group yet.

Please forgive me.

You're Mrs. Stephens,
right?

And this is Tabitha.

I'm Mrs. Peabody.

I was a little surprised
when the office called.

Class is nearly half over.

I know, but they told us
to get started immediately.

I see. Well, Tabitha,
this is activities period.

So why don't you join
the terrarium group?

What's a terrarium?

Terrarium is that
tank right over there

where we keep the turtles
and the frogs and the lizards.

Oh.

Thank you
for bringing her in.

Um, would it be all right
if I stayed a while?

Stayed?
You mean in class?

Oh, no. That's very
poor, psychologically.

We don't want to set up
a dependency pattern.

We don't?

Well, you see, this is Tabitha's,
uh, first school experience,

and I just thought that if... I can
understand your apprehension, Mrs. Stephens,

but it would be better
if you didn't stay.

The trouble is, Tabitha's
a very unusual child

and it might take her a
little while to get adjusted.

Mrs. Stephens, through
the years I have learned

that no child is essentially
different from any other child.

Yeah, well, uh,
Tabitha is unusual

in a very
unusual way.

Believe me, you haven't
a thing to worry about.

What kind of
a dumb name is Tabitha?

It's not
a dumb name.

How come I've never
heard it before?

Because you never met
anyone named Tabitha.

Charlton Rollnick Jr.,
you stop that!

A real problem child.

Fortunately,
my only one.

You're lucky
you only have one.

I hope
it stays that way.

Oh, um,

will Tabitha take the bus,
or will she walk home?

We only live
a few blocks away,

but, uh, maybe the first
day I should pick her up.

Fine, and don't you
worry about a thing.

I'll try.

All right, everybody.
Activities period is over.

Back to your seats.

Back so soon?

I'm... I'm sorry.
I was, uh...

I... I was wondering

maybe it would be better
to let Tabitha walk home.

We don't want to set up
any dependency pattern.

That's up to you.

- I'll just tell her.
- I'll tell her.

Tabitha, come here.

Class,
this is Tabitha Stephens.

Say hello to Tabitha.

Hello, Tabitha.

And this is Tabitha's
mother, Mrs. Stephens.

Say goodbye to Mrs. Stephens.

Goodbye, Mrs. Stephens.

Oh, that's all right.
I can take a hint.

A school doesn't
have to fall on me.

Now, let's see.

Not much choice.
Tabitha, take that desk.

Yes, Mrs. Peabody.

Tomorrow morning we're going to
give you your books and your crayons.

Thank you.

And now I'm going to
continue reading to you

from Alice's Adventures
in Wonderland.

Apparently one of you has
seen fit to adopt our bullfrog.

Will the adoptive parent
please stand up?

Tabitha, did you
take the bullfrog?

No, ma'am.

Tabitha, there are
lots of rules in this school,

but first and foremost,
we do not tell a lie.

I didn't lie.

Tabitha, put the frog
back where it belongs.

Yes, ma'am.

Now, you remember

we left Alice just as she
arrived at the mad tea party.

Ow!

Apparently we have a
budding opera star in our midst.

Who was responsible
for that?

Tabitha,
haven't you been taught

not to interrupt someone
when they're speaking?

She certainly has.

Has Tabitha
been misbehaving?

I think it's just that she's not
acquainted with our procedures yet.

You stop that,
or I'll tell.

Just stop that whispering
and settle down.

I, uh, I suppose you're
wondering why I came back.

Frankly, yes.

Well, I was thinking

maybe it would
be better

if Tabitha came home
on the bus.

Whatever you say.

Just what's
going on back there?

Her hair, when I pulled it,
I got a shock.

I don't know what
you're babbling about,

but what business did you
have pulling her hair?

Just because.

Just because of that,

you'll stay
after school tomorrow.

I'll send a note home
to your parents.

And speaking of parents,
I thought you'd left.

Uh, I'm... I'm sorry.
I won't be back.

Don't go to extremes.

We like to see
you on parents' day.

And you're right.

It would be better
if Tabitha walked home.

Bye-bye.

Class dismissed.

Just because of you,
I have to stay after school.

You'd better
let go of me.

What if I don't, huh?
What if I don't?

You'll see, you big bully.

Me? Why, I wouldn't
hurt a fly.

Maybe not, but you're going
to love eating them, you...

You big bully frog.

And don't forget the...

Tabitha. You're the first
frog freak I've ever met,

so I'm not just sure
how to deal with you.

But let's begin by putting
the frog back in the terrarium.

But this frog isn't
the frog you think it is.

Tabitha, the terrarium.

You heard me, Tabitha.

Put that frog back
where it belongs.

But honest, this frog
isn't really a frog.

The frog
isn't really a frog?

I mean, he's a frog,
but he really isn't.

Oh, stop this nonsense
and put that frog back.

Yes, ma'am.

Tabitha, I realize
this hasn't been

a very good
first day for you,

but I'm perfectly aware
that it isn't entirely your fault.

Tabitha, will you look at me
when I'm speaking to you?

I'm sorry.

You're the product
of an overprotective mother

and I just wish...

Never mind.

My mommy's gonna
wonder where I am.

I'd better run.
Goodbye.

I must say
I admire your cool.

It's only a five-minute walk
from our house to school,

which let out
15 minutes ago.

Darrin, you're
being overly concerned.

As a matter of fact,
here comes Tabitha now.

How do you know?

How does she know?

Oh, boy,
I'm really wigging out.

Hi, Mommy. Hi, Daddy.

Oh, hi, honey.
How was school?

Oh, it's still there.

You see? I told you there was
nothing to be worried about.

Well,
I'd better, uh, get back to work.

Mommy, can I
go play outside?

Oh, sure. You want a snack,
some milk and cookies?

Yes, thank you.
In a minute.

Charlton, you're just
being stubborn.

I'm trying to
change you back.

Tabitha, where did you
get that frog?

Mommy, you'll never
guess what happened.

Is that frog
who I think he is?

You're smart, Mommy.

You only needed one guess.
It's Charlton.

I thought you said

you were gonna try
and control yourself.

I tried and tried, honest,

but Charlton
grabbed me after class

and he kept twisting
my arm and hurting me,

so what could I do?

You could have
punched him in the nose

or kicked him
in the shins.

Anything would have
been more ladylike.

The trouble is
I can't change him back.

What are we going to do?

Well, the first thing we're
going to do is not panic.

The second thing we're going
to do is call Charlton's mother.

She's probably
worried sick.

Come on.

Yeah, hello?

Uh, um, hello.
Mrs. Rollnick?

Yeah. Who's this?

This is Mrs. Stephens.

My little girl Tabitha is in the
same class as your Charlton.

Okay. Whatever he
did to her, I'm sorry.

Uh, no. No, no,
that's not why I'm calling.

He and Tabitha
were having such fun

that Tabitha brought
him here after school.

That darn kid. He knows he's
supposed to come straight home.

He's got a piano lesson
at 3:30.

He'll do anything
to get out of it.

Well, in that case,

I'd be glad to
drive him home.

No, no, I'll pick him up.

[Mrs. Rollnick] What's your address there?

1164 Morning Glory Circle.

1164.

But really,
I'd be happy to...

Forget it, forget it. I'll pick
him up in 10 minutes. Goodbye.

Tabitha,
we have to work fast.

Now, Charlton's mother
is coming

to pick him up
in 10 minutes.

Now, I want you
to tell me

everything that happened,
step by step

and don't leave out
a thing.

Well, after I changed
Charlton into a bullfrog,

Mrs. Peabody made me
put him in with the other frogs.

Then, later,
when she wasn't looking...

That's it. You picked
up the wrong frog.

Oh, mommy,
you solved the whole problem.

Certainly, I have.

When Charlton's mother comes,

all I have to do
is explain to her

that her son, the frog,

is safe in
the terrarium at school.

Meanwhile, she can take
this one home as a receipt.

That's silly, Mommy.

You're darn right,
it's silly.

You look upset.

I couldn't possibly
look as upset as I am.

We haven't got time
to discuss it now.

No wonder Tabitha
couldn't tell you apart.

You're as alike as
two frogs in a terrarium.

Well, I'm sorry, Charlton,
but you did ask for it.

What are you
doing in here?

Exchanging frogs.

Wait a minute. Where are
you going with that frog?

That's school property.

Uh, no. Not really.

You see, my little girl
is in this class

and she left her pet frog
and when I heard about it,

instead of leaving the poor
little fellow here all night,

I thought I'd just
come and get him.

So, you see, he really
isn't school property.

- You follow me?
- No.

But that's not the only
thing I don't understand.

How did you get in here?

Through the door.

But... but the door was locked.

Let me ask you something.

When was the last time
you had your glasses checked?

I don't wear glasses.

Well, you should.

Then maybe you'd
stop seeing things.

Excuse me.

Where's she?

No question,

I gotta get me
some glasses.

And a good psychiatrist.

Hi, I'm Mrs. Rollnick.

Uh, who?

Oh, uh, you... you must
be Charlton's mother.

- Right.
- Who's Charlton?

We weren't expecting you
quite so soon.

Who's Charlton?

When I take Charlton
to his piano lesson,

I always have to
allow a little extra time

for kicking
and screaming.

- Where is he?
- Well, he's...

Who's Charlton?

Well, uh, sweetheart,

he's a... he's a little
friend of Tabitha's

that she brought home
from school.

They're out back, playing.

I'll get him.

- Sam.
- What?

May I speak
to you a moment?

When?

Now.

Oh.

Excuse me, Mrs. Rollnick.

Make yourself comfortable.

Thank you.

Sam, Tabitha did not
come home with a little boy.

Darrin, you picked
a most inopportune moment

to bring that up.

Sam, I did not see
a little boy with Tabitha.

That's because she
had him in her pocket.

I know this is going
to be a silly question,

but wouldn't that
be a tight squeeze?

Not if you've been
turned into a frog.

I knew that was
a silly question.

I think I'll go in the den
and watch my ulcer grow.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Rollnick.

I'll get Charlton now.

Oh, Thanks.
He's no bargain,

but he's the only one
we've got.

He's probably hiding.
That's what he's doing.

He'll do anything to get
out of his piano lesson.

I think
I can find him.

Don't waste your time. I
know how to smoke him out.

Charlton Rollnick!

If you don't come
out this very second,

you're not gonna watch
any TV for three weeks,

your allowance is
gonna be cut in half,

and you're gonna have to
take two baths this week!

Uh, you mind if I try?

Be my guest.

Charlton's mother sure
is mean, isn't she?

I'm sure
she has her problems.

All right, now, Tabitha,
do your thing.

You know,
if I were Charlton,

I think I'd rather
stay a frog.

Well, you're not,
so the choice isn't yours.

Go ahead.

How do you
feel, Charlton?

Oh, my stars!

Tabitha, you didn't put
quite enough zip in that zap.

Oh!

You found him, huh?

How have you been,
you little devil?

Don't you get fresh
with your mother.

What are you trying to do,

embarrass me in front
of these nice people?

Did you ever
hear such insolence?

Wait till your father
hears about this.

Now let's go.

I'm sure he didn't mean
to be insolent.

Barking at his
mother like a frog,

what do you call that?

Well, he knows
you're angry.

Maybe he was just
trying to amuse you.

Charlton?

Huh?

What happened?
Where am I?

[Mrs. Rollnick] Charlton,
will you quit stalling and come on?

All right, Charlton,
where were you?

I was a bullfrog.

I'm serious.
Where were you?

I was a bullfrog.

All right, how did you
become a bullfrog?

She made me one.

Charlton Rollnick, you've
always been a rotten kid,

except for one thing.

You never lied.
Now, where were you?

I was a bullfrog.

Why does he
keep saying that?

Well, uh, maybe it's a case
of ego identification.

Yeah. What's that?

Well, a bullfrog
suggests "bully," doesn't it?

- Yes.
- Do you follow me?

No.

Uh, children need
love and understanding.

Without it,
they sometimes become

overly aggressive
and turn into bullies.

Charlton, did you really
think you were a bullfrog?

I was a bullfrog.

Love and understanding,
Mrs. Rollnick.

All right.

Charlton, dear,

say goodbye
and thank you

to these nice people
for having you over

and then I've got
a nice surprise for you.

Thank you for
inviting me over.

What's the surprise?

Well, first, you can forget
about your piano lesson.

Really?

And second, we're gonna
stop at the ice cream parlor

and get you a great big hot
fudge sundae with almonds on top.

And flies?

Flies?

That's very funny, Charlton.

He has a delightful
sense of humor.

He does?

Oh, yeah, he does,
doesn't he?

Okay, well, goodbye.

It was a pleasure
meeting you all.

Bye. Say goodbye.

Well, we squeaked
by that one.

What about the flies?

Oh, I'm sure that'll
wear off by tomorrow.

In the meantime, Mrs.
Rollnick can keep enjoying

Charlton's delightful
sense of humor.

Yeah.

Young lady, you have
nothing to laugh about.

You started this whole mess.

Now, how are we
gonna deal with you?

I have an idea.

What's that?

How about a little
love and understanding?

Why is it that
I feel like the fox

that's been cornered
by the chicken?
