The wonder years episodes 10-13

The first episode is something a lot of us can relate to. Kevin hears a rumor that winnie is going to break up with kirk but they don't. Fed up with being alone, he goes steady(why don't we use that term) with becky slater(played by winnie cooper's real life sister). The most touching part is the ending. Kevin has a talk with becky in front of the school buses. He mentions that he felt pressured to go steady with a girl and that he doesn't really know her and he didn't really want to be steady with her. She is willing to give the relationship a try and kevin walks her home since she missed her bus bcause of their little chat.

The 2nd episode I saw is also another one we can relate to. Kirk asks kevin to ask winnie if she still likes him. Winnie gives kevin the answer of "I like him but I don't like him like him" and that she is going to break up with kirk soon. Kevin is dumbfounded when he sees winnie and kirk kissing in the hallway especially since he already told becky slater he just wanted to be friends(he got punched and the friend zone existed back then). To complicate things, kirk and kevin ask another guy to ask winnie what she feels about them and the 3rd guy ends up going on a date. At the end kevin goes to winnie's house and she is unsure of how she feels about kevin. I mean which one of us knew about relationships when we were in middle school. 

The 3rd episode was about kevin's mom norma taking a pottery class. Kevin's dad jack is secretly threatened by this and every little thing becomes a huge argument. The arnold kids have never seen there parents argue in front of them so the house is chaos. Eventually jack and norma work things out.

The 4th episode I saw was about kevin's piano lessons. He is threatening to quit because he finds it useless and boring and doesn't even practice. His mom changes things when she mentions how she and kevin's piano teacher were talking and apparently kevin has talent that he should expand on. He is uplifted by this and takes his lessons and practice seriously and intends to be in the recital. At rehearsal things go bad for him when the more talented Ronald decides to play the same song as kevin. Kevin goes after ron and he messes up the notes. He ended up not going to the recital and we end with the narrator saying "I don't remember the notes but I remember the music"
