Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 28, 2013

Oh, Petey liked that, I’m surprised!

I don’t think dad is impressed.

Kids say the darndest things.

Petey said “That was great!” Has he ever said that before?

I don’t think I’ve seen Petey look so happy.

Peter, you’ve made your kids happy! Be not dismayed!

That is a pretty moon!

Petey can appreciate the humor of a good “Squelch!” He just doesn’t want anything that goes “Squelch!” on his plate.

I’m still trying to figure out the “stomachy-looking thing on the beach”. A jelly-fish, maybe? I wonder where they are vacationing?

My first thought was maybe the parents were in a mood (just gazing at the moon) until the kids started with all that talk.

My seven-year-old “Alice” wants to comment, “Why’s this all about a moon?”I’ll try to explain it to her.
