She goofed up a lot, like a female Beaver. Like when she was "running" Bud's lawn mowing corp. and spent the profits on a model boat for her boyfriend, Burgess.

I heard Ward in my mind stating that something is either wrong or its right and has nothing to do with who is around(or something similar).

I thought of the time when June told Wally to go easy on Beaver when they played checkers (probably after he got kicked off Park League basketball) and Wally said that wasn't the right thing to do.
