For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 01, 2016

Sis knows his M.O.!

I thought Lawrence was a nice guy. Guess I was wrong.

Reminds me of me and my sister who was 8 years older.

He’s very smart to look ahead and plan his get-a-way. He’ll go far in this world with that attitude.

If they were bored, any of my 3 kids would have done it.

Oh, go away with your political correctness.

Boys ARE different from girls in the way they think. This does not make them bad.

Maggie IS dressed provocatively, as do a lot of girls these days (and even in the 80’s when this was printed). So what? It does not make ladywatcher a bad person for making an observation.

When my niece was 16, she dressed like that all the time, and wore so much make-up that she carried it around in a tackle box. She was walking on Beach Blvd in Anaheim (an area known for hookers) and was approached by a man in a car because he thought she was one of the working girls. She toned it down a bit after that.

Oh, get a life! He’s thinking of doing something funny. He’s a normal kid, and where did rape have any place in this discussion?

Lawrence is a prepubescent kid. He is in blended family with two older sisters who seem to accept him as a bratty little brother. It is not easy, but all concerned seem to enjoy the play. I hope the best, but they do not exist really. It is all a figment of Lynn Johnston’s imagination.

That would be a waste of a perfectly good popsicle.

Smart. Brains.
