The kids are at Kip's kitchen table making macaroni hats. The phone rings. Who could it be? Bitty says she has to go to Aunt Susie's, but that Grandpa-pa will be babysitting. Grandpa-pa makes a mess while making hats and goes to the bathroom to clean up. He promises to teach the kids how to play "Macaroni Pirates" when he returns. Oops, he locks himself in.
