 	Muppets 	Granny Fanny Nesselrode, "The Answer Lady," dispenses some household hints from her homespun kitchen. Before getting to fan mail, Granny Fanny offers safety advice when dealing with a brand new, but sharp pencil - break off the point (which keeps it from writing). The first letter asks Granny what to do with those dirty, after-dinner dishes. She recommends tossing them away, but her announcer suggests cleaning them. A short viewer then asks how they can reach the out-of-reach sink. Granny Fanny makes another silly suggestion, proposing they water themselves like a flower to grow; her announcer recommends standing on a chair. Finally, a viewer asks how their two children can play with one balloon. Rather than following her announcer's idea of sharing it, Granny Fanny tries to cut a balloon in half (much like one would to share a candy bar). The startled announcer closes the program amid Granny Fanny's many attempts to cut a balloon in twain.
