For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for March 24, 2020

Uh-oh. We all know what’s coming . . .

Canadians sure know how to live through the snow, don’t they?

I am glad John calls him Ted so we know who he is. It’s been several years since we have seen Dr. Ted McCaulay and his appearance has changed a lot since the last time we saw him. He has lost his pointy nose, his hooked jaw line and his blond hair. Elizabeth thinks Elly doesn’t look too well, but that’s nothing compared to Dr. Ted McCaulay.

Ted, despite being a doctor, you know nil about pregnancy and fetuses. The babies decide when they are ready to come. Nothing we women could do but help bring them out.

Murphy’s Law strikes again.

Hello April!

HELLOOOOOEE: hav you heard about a thing called a “phonecall!”

TIME FOR BABY

Sit down Ted, the baby is ready

Thanks for the spoiler alerts, people! Appreciate it! (-:

RUH!!! RO!!! REGGIE!!!

Babies seem to know when it’s the worst time to make their way into the world. It is baby magic. Sort of like their aim when the diaper comes off.

SPOILERS!!

It’s jarring to remember these were the days before cell phones were common. Being in a car or even at another house puts him out of touch (unless he calls in from wherever he is going).

So he washed his car before going to work? Either he gets up early, or he opens his office late!

Better to be safe in a snow storm than to rush home and risk an accident.

been waiting for this one

Called it

Un oh. Famous last words.

Always seems to happen. A sudden drop in barometric pressure and – oops – here comes baby!

The sad part is that in any other circumstance, Ted would be right, it would be far safer for John to stay put and not try to brave this kind of weather.
