Summary

Mom and Dad are resting in their bedroom before heading to an elegant ball. They've asked Eric to take care of Julieta, his little sister, until Grandma arrives. To keep Julieta from making too much noise (although she seems to be playing very quietly with her dolls), Eric comes up with a brilliant idea: How about trying the dress that Mom is going to wear that evening? Julieta loves it. They fetch the whole ensemble and go to Eric's room, where Julieta stumbles atop of the stool, yells atop of her lungs and the pearls from the necklace are all over the floor. "Eeeeriiiiiiiiic!" Bilingual title: Como mama / Just Like Mom Mama y papa van a dormir una siesta para estar descansados para el baile que tienen esa noche y le piden a Eric que vigile a Julieta, su hermanita pequena, hasta que la abuela llegue. Para que su hermana no haga ruido (a pesar de que esta jugando tranquilamente), a Eric se le ocurre una brillante idea: por que no se prueba el vestido que va a usar su mama por la noche? Y ya que esta en eso, por que no usa un poco de maquillaje y se prueba el collar de perlas? Pero oh, no! Julieta se tropieza, el collar se rompe y se caen las perlas por todo el suelo. Eeeriiiiiic!
