The Brady Bunch: Cindy Brady, Lady

B-

Larry Rhine's first Brady story, co-written with Al Schwartz, shows Cindy again wanting respect, this time not liking being the baby of the family and envying her sisters for their dates and other social opportunities.  So she tries to act more mature.  And meanwhile Bobby pretends to be her secret admirer and, when unable to tell her the truth, he bribes a friend with "a real Kennedy half dollar" to pretend to be the admirer.  At first she tries to pull the mature act with this boy, saying among other things that she's too old for the teeter-totter, but then she's herself and the boy really likes her.  And, yes, a different message than when Jan liked Clark Tyson or Marcia liked Harvey Klinger.
