*Image of Tony Dow by News. AUDIO VIDEO of 500 Miles by Peter, Paul & Mary Take Care Wally Cleaver Wally: Watch the hair! My faculties are under arrest! I have been subpoenaed by a Board of Inquiry! Namely, Mr. & Mrs. Parents of OMgoodness Boy! Begins the questioning! (blah, blah, blah) Ward: WHY! Retorts! Wally: But dad (blah, blah, blah) Empathetic. June: Well, why not? In-kind. Wally: Well, mom (blah, blah, blah) Backroom deliberations begin! Ward: Ohh! Don't give me that look! June: But my dear he's just a kid? Ward: I'll even accept the concept of a Billy the outlaw as there is some hopeful measure of action, good or bad, but that's not the conclusion you're drawing is it, sweetheart? June: I know I've been turning my back on this, and once I've turned around, there you are, not a happy camper, our families, friends, and neighbors, are all staring back at me, so I've decided to let you deal with him and I'll stand by whatever the ruling you decide to enact. Ward: Well, Mr. OMgoodness, we hereby sentence you to collect all of your electronic devices and game cartridges and put them in a large box, then you're going to clean your room, the garage, and the yard, then mow the lawn, rake the yard, then water the plants, after you're done, take a shower and come down for dinner. Wally: Wow, that's what an execution feels like. Ward: No, think of it as a life sentence. Wally: (sigh!) June: We love you, honey. Wally: I know that mom. Ward: Oh, and by the way, I want to see your computer keyboard in that box and I'll come around when you're showering to lock it up in the attic. (Later that night) Ward: Good night son. Wally: Good night dad. June: Good night honey. Wally: Good night mom. (Bedroom doors close, and a computer light comes on as a young MIT wannabe, clicks on settings and presses "Online Keyboard") Whatta day! Brutal, just ... brutal! It'll be a long night ... Good night Beav! 2022 July 27
