The next week I watched the show at home, studiously. It became my mission to put words to that intangible sense. I mean, she seemed sweet and all, but was I missing something? Was she a better actress than I had previously realized? What was it David was seeing that I wasn’t?Īt that moment, without quite knowing why, I understood that David and I were different. First of all, wasn’t Daisy a Duke, too? And what did his mother mean, “he watches Daisy”? Why? Why would he just watch Daisy? Until that moment, I hadn’t thought much about her. Hahaha! Although, to be honest, I had no idea what we were laughing at. “He watches Daisy.” Everyone laughed ~ hahaha! ~ so happy to celebrate his assumed budding heterosexuality.

But then she landed her punchline, a punchline she had clearly been working on for quite some time, and the family had heard before. That crazy Daisy! Always getting mixed up in such hijinks!Ī smile swept across my friend/occasional bully’s mother’s face as she said, “David doesn’t watch The Dukes of Hazzard.” She paused, leaving me somewhat confused as we were actually, at that moment, watching The Dukes of Hazzard. These were situations Daisy found herself in regularly. At some point during the hour, a familiar scene unfolded: Catherine Bach, clad in a plaid shirt tied above the waist, high heels, and those too short, too tight jean shorts eponymously named Daisy Dukes, was inexplicably bent over, unnecessarily wet, or casually tied up. My friend’s younger sister, his parents, and I were all assembled in their basement watching The Dukes of Hazzard, one of my favorite shows. It was a Friday night, and I was staying over at my friend (and occasional bully) David’s house.
