• Whitey Whitney : [Miss Landers has just announced the school's father-students picnic]  What if you don't have a father, can your mother go?

  Miss Alice Landers : Well, no, Whitey, this is just for... but Whitey, you do have a father.

  Whitey Whitney : I know, but everybody doesn't. Then they'd be left out... I've got an uncle they could borrow, if they don't have one of those either.

  Theodore Cleaver : [later, at home]  My class is havin' a father-and-kids' picnic, and we're gonna get to bring food, and run on three legs, and everything.

  June Cleaver : Well, that sounds exciting. Is there anything I can do to help?

  Theodore Cleaver : You can make the food, but no women are allowed to come, unless they're a father.

  June Cleaver : Well, that lets me out.
