Come and Visit Ed Gardner (Continued from page 33) a long, dark moment. "Play with me!" "In a moment, darling," his mother said. "Stevie doesn't feel well. He has a stomach ache." At this Eddie bellowed. He had a stomach ache too. Such a stomach ache. His mother should rock him! It went on like that all day. If the baby cried — and he cried a lot, "probably because I was tense and he knew it," Simone admits — Eddie stumbled over nothing and scratched his knee, and had to have Bandaid service immediately. If the baby required changing, Eddie suddenly developed buttoning trouble of his own. "And I was all alone," Simone reminds Ed. "All this hassle at home," Ed marvels at this, "and me away, having all that fun writing jokes." "There was nothing funny here," Simone responds with some pique. "No laughs at all." By the time Ed got home from the office — it had been a long, hard day with the script — he was exhausted. And so pleased to find the house quiet . . . Stevie had fallen asleep at last, exhausted from his crying, and Eddie, with mama all his own again, had gone to his own bed blissfully content. "And do you remember what was the first thing you said to me?" Simone asks him accusingly. Ed has completely forgotten. "You said you were so tired, you thought you'd have a nap!" Worn-out Daddy slept on the sofa in the study from 7:30 until 10:30. "Right through dinner," Simone says, with some satisfaction. Simone managed to stay upright through dinner, through the baby's waking and crying and feeding and sleeping again, through calls from Eddie for drinks of water, a toy to sleep with, another hug and kiss from mama. "I tottered downstairs," she reports. "And there was that man stretched out, smiling in his sleep, completely dead to the world. "I was so furious," she says, "that I ... I woke him up!" It was only the first of these two-arenot-as-easy-as-one days, so they could still laugh. "So," Ed says, "I take it back. It isn't a cinch. But you have to admit that some days we have fun." That they do. They have fun, most days, with their children. The day after Black Thursday, Ed went shopping and bought Eddie a pair of professional boxing gloves. "He can take his grudges out on me, from now on," he explained, "instead of his mother." "Or his brother," says Simone, who really read that book. While he was at the store, Ed thought he might as well really pacify Eddie — and he fought his way through the women shoppers in the boys' wear department. He made a vague and frightened gesture over the counters of shirts, pants, overalls, cowboy suits when the clerk came up. "Give me a hundred dollars' worth, I said," he reports, "making like the Big Spender." What size? the clerk wanted to know. Oh, dear, did he have to know that? How old was the little boy? Eddie was four, but big, his father indicated, marking Eddie's approximate height at somewhere around his middle. The salesgirl, looking doubtful, said maybe he would take a six, and bundled up one hundred dollars' worth in that size. "He couldn't get his toe into them," Ed reports proudly. "Had to take them all back and get eights. The kid's training to be a tackle. Already weighs sixty pounds!" Eddie indeed is an all-round athlete. Challenges his father daily to handstands. Swims like a fish in the pretty pool the family has had built in the backyard. Is merciless with Ed — who plays brilliant tennis — when he reports an only adequate score at golf. Simone has adapted herself to the rugged standards set by her men-folk, plays a very nice game of tennis herself. Her really favorite sport, though, Ed says ruefully, is "going to Magnin's." His weakness is equally expensive, Simone retorts with some justice. Ed recently acquired a 55-foot Alden yawl, the Malabar VII, and although he went on his first half-dozen cruises equipped With a pocket edition of How to Sail a Boat, he already is a seasoned sailor. The Malabar VII won second place this season in the annual Ensenada race, but Ed gives all credit to his crew.
