    I find it interesting that Joan couldn’t have found someone to babysit her son for the evening. She lives with/next door to her mother, her sister, a teenage niece, and Wally’s teenage nephew. I think she just wanted her son with her to give her an excuse not to pay full attention to Wally.

    She doesn’t discipline that child. Never does. She’s a bad mommy and the kid’s a menace.

    Backyard is appropriate. After they’re done eating they can just wash it all down with the garden hose.

    Joan, next time you and Wally go on a date, PLEASE don’t take the kid!

    Save yourself Wally, never ask her for a date again.

    Whenever we had long drives, we would stop at some town’s local park for a picnic lunch. I always thought it was just our budget, but later my mom said it was so us kids could run free after sitting so long in the car. One grown-up would take the kids to the play area in the park while another grown-up would set out lunch. Genius!
