‘Eddie Munson vs. Multi-Generational Penguin Jokes’
Eddie hums with relief as he pulls the lever on Steve’s recliner and eases himself back. A sense of relief washes over him, the pain in his lower back finally alleviating as he stretches out as far as the chair can go.
“Yes,” he hisses, closing his eyes as he palms around the side table for the latest copy of People, and readies himself for a quiet afternoon of reading.
Joanie is playing in her room and Steve is... well...
Doing something that doesn’t require hogging the squishy comfort of the recliner and allows Eddie the privacy of perusing a gossip rag free from teasing barbs.
He locates the magazine and opens his eyes, flicking to a story about Bruce Springsteen’s handsomeness and tight jeans. If he holds the magazine up to cover his face completely, he might even stay camouflaged enough that even the cats won’t bother him.
Eddie side-eyes the fridge, regretting not indulging in a cold one when his magazine knock-knocks towards him, the punched paper crinkling and warping despite his hands stiffening (and cramping) with a steel-like grip in a feeble attempt to save The Boss’s face.
He straightens up at a snail’s pace – enough to peer over the top of his magazine without completely giving up his comfort.
And sure enough, the magazine-crinkling, interrupting culprit is Joanie, smiling all too sweet in her sunshine yellow summer jumpsuit.
“Can I help you?” he asks, eyes narrowing with suspicion.
Joanie tilts her head to the side, her sweet smile curling into something mischievous, her eyes glistening in a way that leaves Eddie shuddering at the thought he is in fact, looking in the goddamn mirror.
“Can I tell you a joke?” she says more than asks as she clasps her hands behind her back and rocks on her bare heels.
Her cheeks flush and yep – Eddie thinks he might know where this is going...
He leans on his elbow and cranes his neck to listen out for the person who surely put Joanie up to this, all the while keeping a close watch on his daughter. His eyes narrow as he catches a whispered chiding being directed at one of the cats, followed up with a shuffling that sure as hell sounds like Steve’s old man slippers scuffing on the floorboards.
“Fine,” he replies, settling back down to turn his full attention to the resident comedian, adding a huff for good measure.
Joanie grins, too pleased with herself and Eddie gulps. He won’t be able to keep up this uninterested ruse much longer if the little bean before him is going to continue looking that adorable.
“Ummm… Where do… penguins…” she begins, tearing her big eyes away as she musters up everything she can to recall the joke, twirling a lock of hair around her finger as she recites, “Where do penguins go to the movies?”
Eddie tosses the magazine aside to free himself up enough to fold his arms, desperate to stifle a whimper as he pea-brain takes him back to exactly where he had heard this one before.
“Wouldn’t have a clue,” he blurts out, lying.
“The dive-in!” Joanie beams, jumping with her arms wide open at the punchline.
She chuckles away through a toothy grin that quickly fades into a frown.
“Who told ya that one?” Eddie asks, knowing the answer.
Steve first told him this joke years ago, back in Hawkins when they first started kinda-sorta-not not dating and they went to the drive-in two towns over. Back when Eddie realised the Harrington Charm also involved many lame jokes that worked a little too well on him.
“No one,” she shrugs, turning to the hall.
They both look up to find Steve poking his head out from Joanie’s room.
“He didn’t laugh!” Joanie all but screams.
“What!” Steve replies in disbelief, stepping out into the open, “But that one’s a classic.”
