THE LIFE OF BEAVER

Beaver at the breakfast table after getting caught the previous day skipping school with his buddy, Larry –

JUNE – “Who was on the phone, Beaver?”

BEAVER – “Larry Mondello, he’s coming to pick me up.”

WARD – “Now, Beaver, there’s not going to be any nonsense on the way to school this morning.”

BEAVER – “Gee, no Dad.”

JUNE – “Beaver, do Larry’s mother and father know what happened on the way to school yesterday?”

BEAVER – “Oh, sure Mom, they know what happened.”

WARD – “I hope he was smart enough to volunteer the information.”

BEAVER – “Yes sir, he volunteered.”

WARD – “As soon as he got home?”

BEAVER – “No sir, after his father started walloping him. Pass the bread, please.”
