Synopsis for "Dad Kent's Boyhood!"
When Jonathan Kent's father constantly reprimands Clark for small offenses, and refers to his own father's disciplinary methods, Superboy goes back to 1900 to do research for a school play about the founding of Smallville High School. There, he observes the young Jonathan Kent and learns that he was indeed raised by a strong disciplinarian...but, when he returns to the present, he learns that the person who raised him was Simon Kent, his uncle, standing in for his father Matthew Kent while the latter was recuperating from wounds sustained in the Spanish-American War.
