How Do You Spell "Gnat"
6 March 2017
Guess what! Ralph's mother-in-law is coming to visit. So how do you spell "conniption fit". Ralph has one since Alice's mom is inclined to stay for more than a day or even a week. Speaking of spelling, Ed's doing a crossword trying to spell the word "gnat". You can imagine the results. And catch the Norton's flat— heck it's even decorated. Note the timely references to Disneyland and TV's 64-Thousand Dollar Question. Both came along in the summer of '55 and created a stir reflected here. Plus, Alice's comparisons of Disneyland to the Kramden flat's a hoot. All in all, it's a solid series entry except for the ending. That strikes me as something of an over-reaction to the humorous mother-in-law jests. See if you agree.
