An anthology issue containing multiple Li'l Genius stories. In one story, a grandmother exhausts herself doing chores while babysitting her grandson, leading to mishaps around the house including a cut tree, broken lamp, spilled ice cream, and apple pie, prompting the boy to suggest she see a lawyer. In another story titled "Who's Got the Money, Honey?", a well-dressed man refuses to buy his son a toy airplane downtown, claiming he has no money and his eyes are bigger than his wallet, despite apparently having a full room of toys at home.
