Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 24, 2014
Transcript:
Dad: "Another day, another dollar..." Dad: "...Another irreplaceable chunk out of a finite and rapidly passing lifetime" Dad: "What a beautiful summer day....and I've got to spend it in an office. Brother" Dad: "It seems like I'm always rushing off and never taking the time to enjoy days like this" Dad: "I'd sure like to have a quiet day around the house. No traffic, no schedule, no phone calls...boy, that would be great. I could spend some time with Calvin, read a book, go on a bike ride...." Dad: "Maybe I should take the day off. The world wouldn't end if I didn't go into the office today. Days like this don't come often and life is short" Calvin: "Hi dad, bye dad" Mom: "AUGHH" Mom: "YOU GET BACK HERE AND PICK EVERY ONE OF THOSE DEAD BUGS OUT OF MY SHAMPOO!! I MEAN NOW!"
If I were Calvin’s dad, I’d probably never take a vacation.
