Honey

Melody and Nick finish their lunch on the porch. Roxanne Jenkins, the mother of one of Teeny’s friends, drives by. Melody recalls how, after Roxanne’s divorce, she’d shown up to their house with a cake, wearing lots of eye makeup. Melody’s father explained that Roxanne was “fishing” for him, but he wasn’t interested.

Melody and Nick speculate about who Melody’s father’s girlfriend is. They assemble a short list of the single, eligible women in town. Nick wonders why Melody’s father hasn’t told her yet. Melody is certain there’s a reason.

Melody and Nick bike ride into town to the Bee Hive. On the way, Nick reveals that he’s worried Melody’s father hasn’t told her because he’s seeing someone Melody doesn’t like, but they can’t come up with anyone who fits that description. Melody invites Nick for dinner, and Nick is thankful he can say yes because he also did poorly on Miss Hogan’s math test. They commiserate over her trick questions and lament that they don’t have Mrs. McKenna again this year.

When they arrive at the Bee Hive, Melody and Nick see Miss Hogan walking in, and she’s whistling “You Are My Sunshine.”
