As you get older, somebodyshort, you will find there are hundreds of theories about arguing with a woman, however, the resuslts are the same as with your two.
Here in the PNW heat and rain is washing our snow goons down the drain. Don’t worry Calvin, I am sure tomorrow holds plenty of surprises for you to ponder.
kreole said, earlier, that Mom had knocked over a snow goon when she opened the door. How naive! The sinister snow goon is merely hiding behind the door, pretending to be knocked over, so he can launch his attack once Calvin & Hobbes are inside! Watch out!!!
Moms do know how to reason. The problem is that moms don’t have the same axioms and premises to start their logic from as real people (kids, or Calvin, or whatever group you belong to…).
I usually never make decision in the middle of a forest,
because my wife would say” Where in the hell have you been, and what the %^&* were you doing .
CASE CLOSED LOL
Mom’s reasoning may not make any sense to Calvin but whether he knows it or not, as long as she’s standing there, she’s “protecting” him (and Hobbes) from the snow goons so that they may walk safely from the snow fort to the house and not be “killed” by them (at least, not tonight anyhow!) and that’s all that really matters!!!

@LX013: my guess is they’ll be wiped out tomorrow by a heat wave.
Charles Evans Premium Member almost 14 years ago
Heat wave? Do you know something we haven’t been told?

Hobbes turns into a stuffed tiger, if another person appears. I think, snow goons vanish the same way…
kreole almost 14 years ago
Did you see the knocked over snow goon by the door that she opened?

“Mother is right - even when she isn’t”
That’s what mine told me, and now I’ve a kid of my own I see that indeed she was right!

Besides, it’s safer inside and gives you more time to plan.

Great Mom line: “You can kill them tomorrow after school.” Ahh, the good old days.
rentier almost 14 years ago
We have a heat wave here, 12° C in winter! There is realy a knocked over snow goon besides the door, she has surprised him!

If “feminine logic” is an oxymoron, how come it always wins?

somebodyshort - would THIS qualify? A man is standing in the middle of a forest…he makes a decision…his wife is not their…is he STILL wrong? lol
musicnut1986 almost 14 years ago
Yes runninanreadin, he would still be wrong, even though his wife was not there to tell him he was wrong.

You can’t fight it Calvin, Mom’s are an immovable force of nature. Unlike the name of the old television show, MOM knows best.

To 5 yr old a Mom and reason do look like oil and water. But Calvin still loves Mom.
