Wally's Dinner Date

Thu, Sep 27, 196230 mins

As Wally has accepted invitation after invitation to dinner at Julie Foster's house, Ward and June believe it would be proper for Wally to repay Julie's kindness by taking her out to dinner. When Wally learns what his parents want him to do, he, despite never having taken a girl on a formal dinner date, thinks that it is a good idea. Ward and June also believe it would be nice for Wally to allow Julie to decide what she wants to do, such as the choice of which restaurant. Regardless of if she is aware, Julie chooses what is considered one of the most expensive restaurants in town and one outside of Wally's budget. After getting advice from his father to explain the situation to Julie and have her pick a more modestly priced restaurant, Wally feels pinned between a rock and a hard place when he learns from Julie that she has already told all her girlfriends where they're going, which makes it more difficult to back out of taking her there. Through the process, Wally learns that there is more to the protocol of formal dinner dates than just choosing a restaurant, some of that protocol which end up being handled by others without his knowledge.
