On Monday, Laurie came home late. “Charles!” he shouted, as he ran up to the house. “Charles was bad again!” I let him in and helped him take off his coat. “You know what Charles did?” he said. “Charles yelled so much that the teacher came in from first grade. She said our teacher had to keep Charles quiet. And so Charles had to stay after school. And so all the children stayed to watch him.” “What did he do?” I asked. “He just sat there,” Laurie said, noticing his father. “Hi Pop, you old dust mop.” “What does this Charles look like? My husband asked. “What’s his last name?” “He’s bigger than me,” Laurie said. “And he doesn’t wear a jacket.”
