[edit] Summary
Jimmy wants to purchase a pair of expensive running shoes, while George and Mary try to clean out their attic.
[edit] Plot
The Barclay family is sitting around the dinner table when George asks everybody how their respective days went. Mary says she attended a meeting of the Odyssey Women’s Committee, which wants to raise money for a new orphanage. Jimmy went shoe shopping, or browsing. He’s thinking of buying a pair of $125 Jordo tennis shoes, to the dismay of his mom and dad. Donna tells the family about the interesting discussion she had in civics class. The topic was priorities, and the question posed was, Imagine your house was on fire, but you knew the family was safe. If you could rescue only one thing before the house burned down, what would you rescue? The Barclays dialogue about each family member’s experience of the day. Over the next several days, these three stories teach the whole family not to place too much importance on things that don’t last.
[edit] Discussion Questions
- Should Jimmy have been allowed to buy the shoes with his own money?
- Why or why not?
- Why did Donna think George would be mad about what happened to his books?
- How would you answer the question Donna’s civics teacher asked?

[edit] Notes
- This episode has a very brief (and maybe vague) reference to ep 63, A Good and Faithful Servant.
- The fad of "Jordo tennis shoes" was probably based (and aimed at in this ep) on another fad happening at the time this ep aired: Air Jordan tennis shoes.
