Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for August 13, 2023

Can’t get away with anything with this kids.

And check the neighbor’s security cam in the morning.

As usual for the Perseids, we had solid cloud cover all night. Bah.

What are we missing? Perhaps the point.

Aside from that, it’s your parents buck naked in the back yard. Might as well go back to bed, Zoe. Nothing more to see here that will leave your sanity intact.

Oops…

The kids do not miss a trick!

Gotta go somewhere with less light pollution than suburbia.

Nothing now, the shows over.

That’s when you teach your kids about “grown-up alone time”. When I was a small child, when my father would come home from work on Saturday mornings (he worked 5-1/2 days a week), we’d have lunch, then my parents would go into their room. We were all told that, unless there was blood, we were not to knock on their door. Many years later my mother confessed to me that sometimes they’d just talk, or sometimes nap. However, they DID have 7 kids, so… Anyway, my husband & I borrowed a page from my parents’ book.

Children: experts at disappearing when you call for them, but right there when you want privacy.

That’s why I learned real quick to lock our bedroom door. I could still hear the girls if they were getting sick in the middle of the night.

What are they gonna miss? A new brother or sister.

Star tanning. Yeah, that’s it. Sure.

Nothing, kids, go back to bed.

It’ll be that way until the kids move out, then you will be too sore to lay on the ground for any reason.

And just when Darryl was about to get a piece of asteroid…

They’re “missing” the making of a new baby bother or sister.

Of course they woke up! Have you ever heard someone doing that? It’s LOUD!

Gotta love the kids!

Reproduction negative feedback.

Should have gotten a sitter for this one. Have the kids watch the show elsewhere while the parents have their “alone time”

my parents would send us outside to play & lock us out of the house for awhile…

I did that with my ex one night, our daughter is now 27!

GO BACK TO BED!

They don’t have a lunar escape plan.

I saw 15 over a three hour period. Should have driven to my astronomy club’s semi-dark site (but still much darker than my backyard).

A nice romantic idea … you have to be sure the kids are sound asleep, that there are no neighbors or cameras with a view, and you have to have a plan for keeping mosquitoes away from exposed skin.

You didn’t really think that was going to work did you?

On the plus side, no surprise baby in nine months

Is that a spider on Darryl’s shoulder?

Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. I keep forgetting there’s always a meteor shower around my birthday. Don’t have time to sit up and watch.

You, nothing. Apparently everything with your parents……

I saw a shooting star while driving out in the country a few hours ago.

Parents forgot to lock the kids’ bedroom doors, sigh.

Brown Chicken Brown Cow

Haha! XD
