Agnes by Tony Cochran for December 11, 2020

Junk has a tendency to stay junk, Agnes.

Right, Trout! Playing with junk from a dumpster will be your top priority in high school!

I didn’t realize high schools today offered hatifying classes.

Actually, that looks a lot like a hat… ☺

It comes right after underwater basket weaving.

Good ideas don’t always pan out the way you might like. It was still a good idea and a very good thought. Hopefully your skills will catch up to your ideas. Keep trying…..

Agnes, Surprise Grandma by cleaning up the trailer and saving her a few steps. That will be the greatest present you could give her.

Typically, parents and grandparents are very lenient when it comes to their appraisal of gifts given by the young. They take into account the love and effort put into the gift, without putting much weight on the skill displayed or the quality of the work. And the younger the offspring, the more forgiving the recipient.

That said, I don’t think there’s anything typical about Agnes, her grandmother, or their relationship. So get it in gear, Agnes, and get Grandma a decent present!

umm Agnes, Christmas is just two weeks away, you don’t have much time for exploration.
