Mary the Writer

Mary decides to try her hand at creative writing. She writes an article about her grandfather, an old guy who dressed up as Santa, sang carols the year round, and so on. She shows it to Murray and he praises it. But when she takes it into Mr. Grant's office, even though he asks her not to, he is less than excited. As a matter of fact, he says it stinks. She is really hurt. She decides to send it off to a publisher, but gets nothing but rejections. When Lou asks her about her article, she lies to him, saying it was being published in "Reader's Digest." Georgette is stunned by this, amazed that Mary could tell a lie. Things escalate and they are hilarious.
