... curse or blessing? Probably a blessing when it comes to not holding a grudge, perhaps a curse when it comes to consistency.
Beaver gets permission for Larry Mondello to sleep over on Saturday night. But within hours after he arrives, Larry and Beaver have a falling out and Larry insists that he wants to go home. The only problem is that the Mondellos left town for the night, so that is not possible and the Cleaver car is in the shop. While Ward and June are figuring out the logistics of getting Larry to a different relative other than his parents, Larry and Beaver forget all about what happened, begin to play together again, and Larry now insists he wants to stay. Will the peace hold? Watch and find out.
I've seen this situation from both sides - child and parent - and though I can't remember much from the side of being a child, I can remember it from the parental side. June and Ward are right - one child that is not your own is much harder to handle than one that is. That's probably because you have to tread lightly lest you offend the visiting child's parents.
