- School bully Buddy Hinton makes fun of Cindy for her lisp and then gives Peter a black eye for trying to defend her. When Mike and Carol can't get Buddy's parents to listen to reason, Mike encourages Peter to defend himself and fight back.
- A teary eyed Cindy ultimately tells her parents why she's been crying and why she didn't want to talk about it: the kids at school, but particularly an older boy named Buddy Hinton, have been cruelly teasing her about sounding like a baby because she lisps. Her parents tell her that she'll outgrow the lisp, but that practicing tongue twisters might help. Later, when Buddy's teasing continues, Peter comes to her rescue. But Buddy wants to get into a fight with Peter, who refuses in part because Buddy's bigger than him. So now Buddy is picking on both of them when he calls "Baby Talk" and "Peter Chicken". Mike's advice to Peter to reason with Buddy escalates matters when Peter comes home from school with a black eye. Once Mike meets Mr. Hinton and Carol meets Mrs. Hinton, they come to understand why Buddy is the way that he is. So when Peter admits he is scared of Buddy, Mike teaches Peter how to fight, since there seems to be no other way to deal with a bully like Buddy.—lisakoffler1967@gmail.com
- "Baby talk, baby talk, it's a wonder you can walk!" That's Buddy Hinton's taunt to much younger Cindy over her lisp. Peter, a classmate of Buddy's, is appalled that the bully delights in making little girls cry and - despite being called "chicken" - decides to stick up for his sister.—Brian Rathjen <briguy_52732@yahoo.com>
