Joe, you're the only one in this family who doesn't give parenting advice.

So thats why you call me at four in the morning.
You don't fancy yourself as some kind of guru on the subject of fatherhood!
Teach me to be a guru on the subject of fatherhood!

If it weren’t for the fact that Joe’s a policeman, I’d say turn off the phone. My BIL used to wait until the rate went down after 11 PM in San Diego and call us “just to chat”. After three of these calls, hubby got up early and called his brother before the rates went up at 7 AM in Baltimore. There we took the phone out of the bedroom. Nothing happens after 10 PM that I can do a thing about.

I might be awful, but I’ve asked family members not to wake me up in the middle of the night if someone dies, unless the caller needs on-the-spot consolation, or something. If (or should I say, when) I die, I’d like my loved ones to get a good night’s sleep before having to deal with that.

Bear in mind that most who call themselves gurus are nothing but fakirs.

I don’t think Joe’s “on call” as a police officer, I think he works a regular shift so he can either put the phone on silent or “man up” and ask his BIL not to call him at that time.

Again just wanted to say I love your strip and am sorry I’ve not been around. I haven’t had a chance to read the funnies in ages and recently got a hold of them in the paper, yours is still one of my favorites. Every time I chance to read Jump Start it makes me smile, you always do an amazing job. When I get a chance I’m going to read the past several months in one go =)
