Now for my comments -- I remember that episode distinctly, it was what prompted me to ask about those cards. In that episode (someone save us and tell us the name), Nurse Chapel DOES change cassettes when the kids change their minds BUT !!!! There were five kids and six cassettes and by the time she got to the last kid, she (I think it was a girl) changed her mind and Nurse Chapel switched to the last cassette. Now you can't tell me that she had just the right cassettes (plus one) with her !!!! -- ==> Ephrayim J.
