}}{{EpisodeHeader|2|20|2}}

[[Sue Ellen Armstrong|Sue Ellen]] feels lonesome and wishes that she had a sibling. When her parents are reluctant, she goes out to find one instead. Her initial sentiment changes as she discovers that having siblings does come with its drawbacks.

The intro begins with [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] pouring himself a glass of milk, and about to eat a brownie. [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] comes in asking him if he's seen the parade outside, but Arthur says that it's raining outside to which D.W. explains that it's a rain parade and that the marching band is in rain coats with a float shaped like an umbrella and that it's right outside.

Arthur runs to the window, but doesn't see anything and when he comes back he sees that D.W. has eaten half of his brownie and [[Kate Read|Kate]] accidentally knocks his glass of milk over, causing it to spill on the floor.

Arthur explains to the viewers that he sometimes wishes he was an only child because life would be easier and that he could use D.W. and Kate's room as his own library (he imagines using D.W. and Kate's room as his own library where he finds a Princess Sneeze-and-Wet doll, but throws it away and continues reading, he also thinks that he might get more presents at Christmas, (he imagines at Christmas that all three of the stockings have his name on it), and finally he believes that with him being an only child he would never have to compromise (he imagines himself sitting on the couch with Pal telling Pal that they will watch The Bionic Bunny Special, then a Bionic Bunny rerun, and this his tape of his favorite Bionic Bunny episodes to which Pal barks in agreement.

The next day Sue Ellen reminisces how great it would be to have an older brother, then notices Binky outside her window and goes to seek his advice regarding her career interests of being an oceanographer or an artist. They head to The Sugar Bowl, where Binky dismisses oceanography as boring, and instead leaves with the goal of becoming a "worm-ographer". At the library Sue Ellen and Brain go through encyclopedias to research the oceans and art history, after which Sue Ellen loses interest with oceanography. She then heads to the Reads' house, but also becomes bored with Arthur's hobbies.
