MICHAEL TELLS JR. THAT HIS SON IS A "MAGIC BABY," ON ABC'S "MY WIFE AND KIDS"

"The Fellowship of the Baby" - When an overwhelmed Jr. thinks he is not smart enough to take care of his own son, Michael tells Jr. that "Jr., Jr." is a "magic baby," and that every time he holds him, it will make Jr. smarter. The ploy works, but in the process Jr. becomes somewhat arrogant with his new-found knowledge, so Michael brings Franklin in so that the two geniuses can match wits.
