No Stupid Questions

You're Not Gonna Believe This...

“No Stupid Questions” is episode #4 of the Family Portraits audio series. It was written by Susan McBride, and originally aired on January 26, 1987.

Summary

Chris Gottlieb, a man in a wheelchair, and Meg Stevens, a girl with a lot of questions, form an odd friendship when they help each other out.

Plot

Meg Stevens and her mother, Carol Stevens, a new beautician in town, have a problem: Carol is divorced and there is no place for Meg to go after school except to the beauty shop. Meg is an inquisitive little girl, and unfortunately, she's beginning to get into the clienteles' hair! Whit learns of Meg's situation and realizes who might be just the right mentor for her. Whit makes a call to the Odyssey Public Library and tells Chris Gottlieb to expect Meg Stevens - she has some questions no one but Chris can answer. Chris is surprised when the inquisitive one turns out to be a 10-year-old girl. But a surprise also awaits Meg - Chris is in a wheelchair. There are a few moments of uncomfortable conversation. Soon, though, the two become fast friends and end up filling an important gap in each other's lives.

Discussion Questions

Discussion Questions are not available for episodes in the Family Portraits collection. This list is from the re-airred version.

1. Whit told Meg, "There are no stupid questions." What did he mean by that?
2. Why was Chris so angry about everything?
3. What's the best way to treat someone who has a handicap?
