Eddy Haskel is a collector, he collects bugs, hats, and rocks. When he was little he would bring me "beautiful" rocks and ask me, isn't this a beautiful rock? I would say yes and keep the rock, these first rocks were little, I eventually had enough rocks that I put a smallish lamp on a smallish plate and decorated the base with rocks. Well, then Eddy started collecting rocks that were too big for the lamp on the plate, and those rocks went in the landscaping and they actually looked okay.
When we moved a few weeks ago, I found rocks in almost every corner of the house, I found rocks under the couch, under my bed, under his bed, down stairs, in the kitchen, and even in a drawer in his bathroom.
I told Eddy that from now on all rocks must stay outside, well guess what? We moved into a house whose previous owner was a rock collector, yup my whole front yard, side yard, and back yard are full of rocks. The previous owner even took some rocks with him when they moved. Apparently when he started collecting rocks he would ask friends to bring back rocks when they went traveling afar.
I love rocks, but this is too much, there are rocks from Eddy and rocks from Jim the previous owner, I do not need anymore rocks, so if you come and visit, keep your car locked or I just might send some rocks home with you!!

The thing I remember most about Eddie Haskell has to with bugs, actually. That girlie night I went to at your house, I was so impressed with his knowledge of bugs. He knew the names of all them and I thought was just amazing for a kid his age (can't remember how old he was). Funny the things we recall, huh?
No worries...Little M. will probably pilfer a few rocks all on his own each time we visit. He has an affinity for rocks and sticks!
