It doesn't get much better than this.
Summary: Bo is six years old and life just doesn't get much better than that. A collection of stories from the childhood of Bo and Luke featuring the sentence, It doesn't get much better than this.
Disclaimer: I don't own either The Dukes of Hazzard or Calvin and Hobbes, if I where enough of a genius to invent either of these things, I wouldn't be writing stories which use other people's characters and ideas, now would I? And just so you know, no I'm not making any money out of this, and I don't intend to start doing it either.
Author's note: these are stories from the childhood of Bo and Luke which are loosely based on the wonderful Calvin and Hobbes cartoons by Bill Watterson from the Calvin and Hobbes album 'It doesn't get much better than this'. Starring Bo as the six year old Calvin and Luke taking on the parts of either Hobbes the tiger or one of Calvin's parents.
My first language is actually not English so be kind to any mistakes I might have made. Don't hesitate to correct them, I live to learn.

Luke's Plan
Luke whispered something in Bo's ear. "You got that Bo? Ya think ya can say that?"
Bo chewed his bottom lip in an effort to remember and nodded.
"Alright, go to uncle Jesse." Luke pushed the little boy into the living room where uncle Jesse was sitting in his favourite chair reading the newspaper.
Bo went to stand in front of him while Luke watched from a distance. "Uncle Jesse?" Bo said hesitantly.
Uncle Jesse looked up from the newspaper. "Yes Bo?"
Bo looked at uncle Jesse hoping he would get it right. "What guarantee do I have you won't mess up my education?"
The look on uncle Jesse's face was priceless. Luke burst out laughing and exclaimed: "Ow it doesn't get much better than this!"
Uncle Jesse took one look at Luke and understood. "Luke!" He scolded, but he himself was laughing too.

Bad DayBo stormed into the house, soaked from the rain that was pouring outside. He tossed his schoolbag in a corner and angrily kicked of his boots. "I'm in a lousy mood, nobody come near me today, ya'll hear!" He shouted moodily through the house.
Luke walked over and dropped a towel around his shoulders. "Here's the new car magazine. Settle down on the couch and I'll get ya a glass of milk okay. Ya comfy?" Luke asked.
Bo stared at him in confusion. "Uh, yeah I guess."
"Good." Luke answered and disappeared into the kitchen.
Bo snuggled into the couch and opened the car magazine. "Luke just understands everything." He mumbled.
Luke came back and sat the glass of milk down on the table, then he went to read a magazine too.
Bo looked up from his magazine. "It doesn't get much better than this."
