I heard the car door slam, and immediately looked at the clock.
He wasn’t supposed to be home until the next day.
“Get UP!
“Get your clothes and get out NOW!“
“No, not that way, go out the back door. Hide in the shed until I give you the signal and then open the back gate and GO!”
Thank goodness we had the foresight to park his car around the block. Nosy neighbors, ya know.
I heard the garage door open and knew that I had barely enough time to make the bed and erase all the clues that I wasn’t alone.
Running into the bathroom, I turned the water on and jumped in the shower to wash away any traces of what had just happened.
I had not taken off my single strand of pearls; I’m never without them.
“Hi June, I’m home! Where is everyone? I’m famished. What’s for dinner?”
“Hello Ward, how was your business trip? I am VERY upset with the Beaver; he was sent to the principal’s office again for having his shirt untucked, and Wally got in some mischief with that Eddie Haskell. You’re going to have to speak to the boy.”
Ward hadn’t noticed a thing; as long as he had his newspaper handed to him and the scent of a roast in the oven, he would never suspect that June didn’t spend her entire day cleaning in high heels.
This is the backstory of the Cleavers, that lovely suburban family in “Leave it to Beaver“

That was great! I loved it!
Thank you! I don’t often do prompts but this seemed like fun!
LOL…Loved it. Remember that show. Who would have known about June
I know, right? Behind closed doors…Ward just doesn’t meet her needs..
That made me smile.
Thank you kindly! I was hoping it would.:)
Haha! So funny!
Glad you liked it! June’s a little vixen!
What a twist on an American classic Thank you for sharing and for the ping-back
It’s my pleasure! Glad to let everyone know what June’s really up to!

Brings back lots of memories!
It’s lovely to watch that repressed family slice of life, isn’t it?

And think they know all the answers!!!
I know, right? I’m writing an article that takes a sociological view of those old tv shows and how they reflect upon where we are now, not an original theme, but I think I have a twist…maybe, we’ll see.

I am laughing so hard right now! I love it
They were such the perfect family.., or so we thought!
That June was a bit trampy in the boudoir…

My brain is in a fog right now for various “running around the city all day” reasons. I have no real comment, but I still heart you!
It’s great to see a bit of smutty humour in yesterday’s Daily Prompt. I loved it!
You are too kind! We never know what really goes on behind closed doors!

Don’t know the show but they do look like the perfect family. Funny to hear the shenanigans behind the scenes.
It was a show from the fifties and portrayed the “perfect” family–had to show you what it’s really like!

Did you see the prank shots they took of “Mrs.C” leaving Fonzie’s apt , straightening her self out and blowing kisses?It was a riot!
No, I never saw that, sounds like it was funny!

Ooo, love the unexpected intrigue!
my pleasure…Ward won’t be happy!

That was hilarious! And you fooled me; at first, I thought it was something untoward about you, haha.
Glad you liked it and glad I fooled you!
