Pretty sure the mushy statement is right. Violet wouldn’t have the “?” exclamation if it was just that she was impressed.
To a 5 year old kid, being called mushy is bad. (especially in the 50s).

I get it, Charlie is saying MUSH, as calling Shermy mushy cuz he likes Violet. But CB doesn’t know that, cuz he was talking to Snoopy

Actually mush was another word for lie back in the day. So basically Charlie is unintentionally calling Shermys compliment a lie.
