They decide that a silent auction offering items donated by the parents will be a good way to raise money. Everyone seems to have good items to offer--except Bill and Judy. They decide to offer a beef dinner for two, followed by a tooth cleaning by Judy, but nobody bids on it. Judy and Bill figure out that the reason people want the after-school program to continue is to be able to get rid of their children for a couple of hours. At the last minute they change their donation item to an arts and crafts party for the 10 highest bidders. The parents rush the table and their item is a success, beating out the Halversons--who gamely congratulate them and offer to help them with the party if they accept the 20 highest bids. They all agree. A few days before the party, the Halversons call Judy and tell her they can't help with the party because they're going out of town to help a sick aunt. The party goes on as planned and Judy and Bill are overwhelmed with children running everywhere. Bill, returning from the store with some items for the party, reports to Judy that dozens of cars are parked at the Halversons', a party seems to be happening, and the Halversons are laughing at pulling a fast one on the Millers. Bill and Judy round up the children and bring eggs and toilet paper to "decorate" the Halversons' house. Inside the Halversons are having a memorial for their dearly-departed aunt. As eggs hit the windows and toilet paper dances everywhere, the Halversons open the door and confront the Millers, who are embarrassed about their big mistake. A police siren is heard in the distance and the Millers and kids scatter. Written by Cheryl See less
