When I was a kid, I would hop down the porch stairs on my pogo stick, hop up the driveway, hop while taking the mail out of the mailbox, hop back, hop up the porch stairs, and hand my mother the mail. I’m sure it horrified her.
As a child, my mail was delivered through a slot in the front doorway. Now I have a 280 foot driveway (0.1 mile round trip and good for two flights of stairs on the fitbit). My cousin has his mailbox on the road at the edge of his property, a 1/4 mile from his front door.
You’re slipping, Calvin. The one was from Miss Wormwood with the school’s return address. And The Count doubts if she was inviting mom to coffee and Danish.
Before I left home I’d put quite a lot of effort into sorting the mail. On the kitchen counter there’d be up to five piles each day: Mine, Mom’s, Dad’s, Junk, and Other.

Very considerate of Calvin; Mom can use the exercise.

What were you expecting in the mail, Calvin?

Cal missed another chance to get on Mom’s good side. Experience says he’ll need it before long.

Calvin, if you do get something, it will be from the Sheriff’s office.

Didn’t he get a magazine on bubble gum at one time?

Could be worse…he could have said that it was all junk mail…

Once you do something it becomes an expectation. Once you do nothing it becomes an exception. Once you do something wrong it becomes an example.

I’d have been turned right around and made to fetch the mail.

You could have brought the mail to your mother, Calvin.

Ralphie did a similar thing in “A Christmas Story.” When his decoder ring arrived, he shoved all the other mail back into the box.

At least he put the mail back in the box and didn’t scatter it all over the ground.

Calvin will grow up to be so lazy and egocentric that he will have to have someone else fetch his e-mail. :)
