The Squeakersons bring their son Chip to a babysitter named Sabrina. "Don't worry," said Mrs. Squeakerson to her husband. "Chip is going to be fine. Sabrina is a good friend of my mother."

When Sabrina picked up and cradled Chip, she said, "he is much cuter than I thought he'd be! I promise to take very good care of him while you're on vacation."
