Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 08, 2023

Gene quietly thinks, “No your greatest growth spurts are when you have that third piece of cake”

Gina, that’s because you put half a cup of sugar in your tea.

Yup, looks like her left cheek is growing again. On her FACE. sheesh

Enjoy your tea and shut up, thinks Gene.

Gene is about to be a chromosome at that moment

Gene considers playing his tuba quite loudly today.

For me, it depends on the type of tea.

So, dearie, is that the growth of the moles on your face; or the growth of your girth; or the growth of your tea-time gibberish??????????

What are you growing?

Gina will indeed experience quite the growth spurt when she absent-mindedly dips that tea bag in the toaster…

“You’re drinking too much tea, dear…”

Good morning Balladeers!

I’m thinking it’s the scones.

The more she’s grown, the more he groans.

She’s pekoe-ing to new heights.

Than why isn’t she 8 feet tall?

I didn’t know tea was fattening.

Up or out, Gina?

Gina is a giant of her imagination.
