Seventh grade did, indeed, keep them apart, as did most of high school. But Joel Glicker was smart and persistent (witness his possession of the only complete set of `Schizos and Serial Killers' cards on record) and Wednesday Addams was... an Addams.
High school didn't stand a chance.
Joel's rambling descriptions of fifth period English ("Mr. Taylor is worse than Gary. If he deconstructs Moby Dick any further, Ahab will end up killing his father and marrying his mother.") and picked up Wednesday's terse replies ("You can collect arsenic by boiling old flypaper").
Joel kept that note and years later slipped it into Another Man's Poison: Secrets to Knock 'Em Dead Entertaining from Lucrezia Borgia, Madame de Brinvilliers, and Martha Stewart, making sure to leave it where his mother could find it.
Stella Glicker had mixed feelings about the Addams family. Why couldn't Joel find a nice normal girl? But a mansion in Westchester is still a mansion in Westchester. Mel was just thrilled that Stella's coddling hadn't repressed his son's heterosexual urges.
an entire tour group of Brownies burst into tears after listening to Wednesday explain the real relationship between Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. Stella looked faintly ill. Mel seemed fascinated despite himself.
Joel made sure to drop a pair of mouse ears on Wednesday's head and snap a picture before she whipped them off and force-fed them to a Dwarf.
Joel Glicker had seen the face of evil. And he had known fear. Allergies, Gary Granger, Camp Chippewa - all paled in comparison to living with Stella and Mel Glicker. But nothing had ever terrified him so much as this moment............
When they reached Joel, Gomez solemnly placed her hand in Joel's. Then he stepped back to stand next to Morticia and promptly burst into tears. Fester, well-supplied by Dementia, slipped him a handkerchief and harmonized with his own loud sobs.
Flora Amor caught the bouquet.
Fauna sulked.The telegram arrived at the Addams home two weeks later.
