Dear Diary

My brother Larry is a real jerk, but he has really good manners. Whenever he spends time at a friend’s house, his friend’s mother calls to tell our mother how polite he is, and she has to announce it to the whole family. Personally, I think he’s just like Eddie Haskell. Last night on Leave it to Beaver, Ward Cleaver said “Eddie is so polite, it’s almost un-American.” That’s my brother. Not un-American, whatever that is, just that it’s all an act. Good manners can mask bad character. I’ll take a good person over good manners any day.
