"He's at your dad's right now," Jeff told me. He has to work this evening, so my father and his wife are watching my son right now and I will pick him up after work from their house. They are also helping out next week, until I can hire new childcare.
"How was he today?" I asked.
"How the hell do you think he was?"
"A perfect angel, huh?"
"Of course. He's always a perfect angel with us. Our son is Eddie Haskell."
"Who?"
"Eddie Haskell. You know, from Leave it to Beaver."
"I never watched Leave it to Beaver growing up." It was in syndication when I was small but my mom limited me to an hour of television after school, and I used that up on shows that were in color.
"Eddie Haskell was always perfectly nice in front of all the adults, but as soon as their back was turned he caused all kinds of trouble. That's what our son does. He's Eddie Haskell. Ask someone older than you around the office. They'll know what I'm talking about."
I guess this means that when people ask me what my little boy is like, I can tell them he's like a character on that wholesome slice of Americana, Leave it to Beaver. Hopefully, they'll think I'm talking about Wally of Beave. Let them find out on their own that he's Eddie, but with teeth.
