Asked by Gerald
The parents started to get used to Charles's bad behavior and began to say, "The baby was being Charles when she cried all afternoon” and it became a weary joke and a way to lighten the mood between the family.

They never confronted Laurie — they accepted his stories about Charles, were amused and a little worried, and used "Charles" as a family joke and excuse for misbehavior. The parents asked the school about him and discussed him at PTA, but otherwise treated the matter lightly and didn’t suspect Laurie himself. (At the end the teacher reveals there is no Charles, showing the parents had been fooled.)
