Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for August 13, 2015

Phil: If you like my furniture, let's USE it. Who cares if it gets some wear and tear? Val: You say that NOW...why is there duct tape on this cushion?? Alix: Um...I had a big nail in my back pocket and... Phil: It's OK! I have a patch kit. Alix: Good...'cause the super glue I tried didn't work so well.
I really think Val just doesn’t get angry enough about these things. A week of no desert or a couple of days of helping them move stuff instead of frolicking outside would probably help Alix remember that big nail in her pocket next time.
