When a little girl is left with a babysitter on Saturday nights, she's still able to rustle up a mighty good time! Carlene lets her paint her face and they sing songs together. When Chet's in charge, they fix up a batch of fine, hot chili. And Uncle Buffalo Beau can spin a yarn as big as a bison and as long as a rope. But the girl's favorite Saturday nights are when her folks stay home and the family cooks up their own jamborees together.
