Part of that was simply growing up. The joke probably being referred to is that Elizabeth is acting cute right now, but it gets played out as she ages.Small story spoiler (this was not a big story):Elizabeth is about nine or ten and crows about her “loving mom” always provides a school lunch for her. Elly says “Elizabeth, you have time to make your own lunch”. Elizabeth stares in shock that her mother is expecting her to do more things for herself, and only takes a banana to school because she cannot so much as make a sandwich.
At least the child is expressing her thanks. Good people do for those we love, but it’s more important that we teach our kids that our efforts (and the efforts that other make for the) should be appreciated. Then they don’t grow up to be narcisstic and self-centered — with a huge feeling of entitlement.
Does your hatred extend to all characters who are female or just to Elly?-I won’t bother again asking why so many who hate women read this comic. It’s obvious. You all enjoy ranting against women and have found your intellectual ‘home’…
I wasn’t talking to you, so I guess the fact that I mentioned people hating the Elly character pusher your well known Elly hating button. Well, if the shoe fits…-Sorry to bust your bubble, quacker, but I don’t believe Elly Patterson ( a comic character) is the best woman ever. -Now I’ll borrow from a poster on another site. You have the right to your opinion, and I have the right to mine. My opinion is that there is something wrong with people who can never see anything positive in a character and continue to read about that character and moan about that character.-Since there are many other comics that don’t feature women, I can’t understand why those who dislike women keep torturing themselves by reading comics that DO include women.-

Cost of making cookies: $10.00 (or so). Child’s hugs: priceless.

I am SO tired of comments taking anything good Elly does & turning it into a rant against her. Give it up!

It adds character to the event as well and it is for a good cause.
