With an important sportscasting gig coming up, and DJ prepared to attend her very first sleepover, Danny scrambles to find a healthy baby-sitter for Michelle.

In this episode, the family learns that Stephanie has the chicken pox. This isn't a problem until Joey and Jesse, the only available baby-sitters, catch it too. One of the best parts is when everybody comes into the room to see what Stephanie needs and Joey brings her a horn. Even better is when Jesse walks in in his Elvis costume. I also loved the next morning when Jesse and Joey come to the table exhausted and Jesse finds out from his mother that he never had chicken pox ("It was an allergic reaction to wool?") But the best scene came when Danny brings the three of them food and joins in singing.moreless

Awesome Episode, but the sisters are crazy!

By TVman1, Jul 26, 2006

I liked this episode a lot and it was sure interseting, but the sisters made descicions in this episode that i would have never done! the first craziest was DJ giving up her slumber party to babysit!who would turn down staying up the night with your freinds eating junk food, chatting, playing games, and dancing to music without adults to stay home alone and watch over sick people that could give you their sickness obeying their every command! it is stupid for a kid to do that. DJ is really growing up.the other crazy thing was stephanie trying to go back to school just to see a ballarenia! School is like the last place i would want to be(Unless Miranda Cosgrove were there, I have a crush on her!)But a ballarenia! i don't think it would be all that worth it. Steph is obviously youngmoreless
