That line above is said by "Beaver," after older brother "Wally" tells him, "Aw, you know, that's just parents talking."
How this started: "June" is ready to throw out a box of "Ward's" old collectibles, never bothering to check with him. However, he spots her and saves a few things like an old pedometer he had as a kid and enjoyed. It was instrument, like a pocket watch, you strapped to yourself and it would tell you how far you walked that day. (I had one of those myself).
Anyway, Ward shows it to the boys but only Beaver is interested. The dad then tells Beaver he used to walk 20 miles day. Beaver believes him, as young kids always believe their moms and dads. The trouble is, when Beaver gets to school and begins talking to the guys, he winds up - thanks to Larry Mondello's big mouth (naturally) - making a bet with "Whitey" that he can walk 20 miles, too.
Hmmm, you just know that isn't going to work out and there are some lessons, as aways, to be learned, by father and son.
