STORY
When Laurie starts kindergarten, his attitude undergoes a drastic change: he grows more disrespectful towards his father and no longer entertains his mother’s outward displays of affection.
The narrator and her husband are greatly amused when Laurie returns home every day from kindergarten with outlandish stories about a classmate named Charles, who constantly misbehaves in school. Charles’s escapades become so notorious that his name becomes a legend in their family. The narrator looks forward to meeting Charles’s mother at the PTA meeting.
However, at the meeting, the narrator cannot pinpoint which parent is Charles’s. She purposefully corners Laurie’s kindergarten teacher, whose diplomatic report on Laurie sounds like Laurie’s description of Charles’s behavior, but the narrator does not notice. Instead, she cites Charles’s influence on Laurie’s behavior. Finally the teacher says that she does not have any student named Charles.
ANALYSIS
This humorous story demonstrates how even individuals living under the same roof may not fully realize the extent of each other's true behaviors or the nature of each other's true identities. The narrator is naively unaware of her own son's bad behavior in school and is too willing to believe his descriptions of some other misbehaving child. Even though her own son's behavior changes when he enters kindergarten, she chalks this up to Charles's influence. "Charles" demonstrates how unaware people may be of each other's inner motivations and desires or at least how purposefully blind people choose to be of these motivations and desires (such as when they concern negative information about one’s children).
