The wonder years 38-40

The first 2 episodes I saw felt like they were filler as a way to pad the episode listing and for kevin to learn a lesson for the sake of learning something. I was watching them while half paying attention.

Anyways the 1st episode I saw is about kevin's friend getting the "talk" and kevin wondering when his dad will give him the "talk". Jack conveniently has a week off from work so he bothers norma by trying to fix every little thing around the house. To keep him occupied, she suggests he build a treehouse with kevin. You can see why I didn't pay much attention. The arnold men get to work and things go swimmingly until the neighbor lady attends her garden. They both can see her cleavage but jack holds off on the "talk" and they ignore her while they go back to work. One day norma decides to check up on them and she realizes what they see. Yes this episode has pretty stiff pacing. At the end we see that norma invited the neighbor and she mentions how big her tomatoes while also heavily implying innuendo. Jack decides that kevin is too old for a tree house(he was 13) so the episode just ends. 

The 2nd episode was about the school's glee club. Kevin's normal music teacher decides to hand the class over to a perky teacher in training named miss haycock. Kevin's class is full of horrible singers and one kid that doesn't open his mouth at all. They all have to perform at the recital but kevin tries to get miss haycock to realize how bad they all are and to get out of it. She bursts into tears because she had high hopes for them all. The kid who never talks(named warren) randomly bursts into a song and he has a heavenly voice. Everyone decides to use him as a secret weapon at the recital because of his amazing voice. When the big day comes like most 13 year old boys, his voice changes and the song is a disaster.

The 3rd episode I saw was centered around kevin and winnie. Apparently they are a couple again(I think this is the 2nd time so far) and they get invited to a robbie hudson party(popular older boy) who only hosts parties for couples and is known as the place to be. At first kevin and winnie weren't going to go but kevin falls for winnie's peer pressure. At the party kevin is relived when he realizes the party is pretty tame and he even starts to enjoy himself. Things become confusing when kevin and winnie are picked to go into the makeout room. Winnie decides not to kiss kevin who is confused because he thinks winnie doesn't like him or maybe his breath smells or other things that must be racing through his 13 year old mind. Later that night at home, winnie shows up at kevin's window and calls him her boyfriend. They go out on a walk(times sure were different) and she kisses him pretty passionately. Kevin realizes that winnie did want to kiss him but she was waiting for the right moment and that love got a little less confusing. 
It is weird how noticeably taller winnie is compared to kevin. I know girls develop faster at that age but she is always looking down at him and he is always at an angle to her to make the height difference seem non existent. I'm not sure what kevin sees in winnie since all she does is play games with him and cause him trouble and heart ache but I think he only wants her for her kisses. Also when we have our first gf we build her up more then what she is especially when we look back at the past
