    When I was a kid, at the end of our driveway was a hole that made the BEST mud when it rained. My friend, Taffy, had freckles, which she hated. I remembered reading something about how mud was good for skin and figured that, maybe if Taffy put that mud on her face it would clear her freckles. So I told her and, being a good friend, offered to mud my face, too. Not only did it not work, but our mothers weren’t the least amused.

    As a general rule, my mother didn’t mind us playing in the mud so long as we didn’t tear up our clothes. We were required to strip down to our underwear, hose off and hose out our clothes before coming inside.

    Cal is typically contradictory. If he doesn’t like a thing, it’s a good target for fun.

    I can see Calvin having a pet slug in his bedroom. Of course there’s an odor to put up with; but, I’m sure the slug will get used to it.

    Send Calvin to Washington. He can do lots of mud-slinging there.

    “Mud, mud, glorious mud, nothing quite like it for cooling the blood, so follow me, follow, down to the hollow, and there we shall wallow, in glorious mud!” (Flanders and Swan).

    some time later (I think), he goes to Susie’s house to tell her to put on some nice clothes and they’ll go for a stroll

    One house where my family lived when I was little was surrounded by soil with a high clay content. It made the best mud ever.

    Calvin never met a mud hole he didn’t like.

    Years ago, my sister saw a dog rolling in the mud at a road repair site behind our house. She said, “Oh, I pity the owners of that dog!” Then the dog came home !

    … then hose down the living room, kitchen, and bathroom because Calvin meandered into the house without being seen.
