Biography[]
When Leslie's brother-in-law Rob was transferred to Paris for work, his son Rod was sent to live with Frank and Leslie so he could finish high school.[1][2]
Trip to Paris[]
While preparing for the trip, Leslie asked Peter and Kate if they had a voltage adapter. Peter handed her Kevin, saying, "Here, here's a voltage adapter." Leslie then put Kevin down, saying he was getting heavy, and then told him to pack his suitcase.[3]
Later, after finding out that the pizza boy needed $122.50 plus tip, she asked Frank if he had any money. Frank replied that he only had traveler's checks. She then told her son Fuller to "go easy on the Pepsi" while he drank a can of the beverage. After a fight broke out between Kevin and Buzz, Leslie saved her son, Fuller after her husband, Frank trapped him between his chair and the wall.[3]
During the plane ride, she refused Frank's demands to put the plane's drinking glasses in her purse, and then gave the stewardess a sheepish smile when the stewardess asked Frank if he wanted some champagne. When Kate discovered that Kevin was missing, Leslie held onto her hand and reassured her that he was fine. She looked at Frank sternly after he told the family that he forgot his reading glasses.[3]
Trip to Florida[]
At a Christmas pageant the night before their trip, Peter turned to Leslie and told her that Kevin's solo was coming up, and to pass it on to Frank. She then turned to her husband to tell him what Peter said, but had to wake him up first. Then, when Buzz played a trick on Kevin using two candles, Peter, Kate and Leslie did not laugh, and she also tried to get Frank to stop laughing. After they got home and Buzz apologized, Leslie, along with the others, glared at Kevin.[4]
At the airport, she handed Tracy Kevin's bag but it was quickly discovered that Kevin was missing for the second year in a row.[4]
Once Kevin was discovered to be in New York, Leslie went there with the rest of the family to reunite with him. The next morning, when Buzz told the family that they wouldn't have Christmas if it wasn't for Kevin, Leslie smiles, claps, and even briefly put an arm around Kevin when he was shocked about what Buzz had said.[4]
Trivia[]
- In a deleted scene from the first movie, Harry (while disguised as a cop) asks Leslie if she is Mrs. McCallister and she replies that she is, then clarifies that she is "not the Mrs. McCallister who lives here", hence why Harry later asks Peter if he is "the Mr. McCallister who lives here."
