[edit] Plot Overview
Cindy is cast in an adaptation of "The Frog Prince" as the Fairy Princess. Initially, she is overjoyed that she was given the lead female role, but that joy is soon shattered when she learns she is allowed to invite only one of her parents to the school play. It seems that, thanks to an undersized auditorium and a number of other productions going on that evening, there is only room for one parent per child, forcing the teachers to arrive at the difficult decision.
Cindy is faced with a very difficult choice: Invite her mommy, who has always come to her school activities; or show her new daddy her approval by asking him. A game of Pin the Tail on the Donkey and plucking a daisy fail to resolve the matter, so she schemes to get kicked out of the play.
She does so by feigning an injury to her knee (claiming said injury resulted from a fall after chasing her brothers), but her teachers catch on. They later realize that Cindy wanted to invite her entire family to the presentation ... so the school is able to put on a special presentation, just for the Bradys.
