    Wait till Elly finds out that April is walking without anyone telling her!

    You should’ve known there’d be a catch.

    Living with just Dad for the whole break is going to mean lots of chores to be completed while Dad is in the Clinic. Lawn to rake or mow, unless there is snow instead to be shoveled. Dishes to be washed, etc. AND one big cramp in Mike’s style.

    Ohhhh, didn’t you think Dad would be gone with mom and sisters? No such luck. Someone has to be home to watch YOU.

    Is this where he kicks April’s crib, like he did Lizzie’s?

    Monty: "Monty: “What’s so wonderful about it? He’s got two legs, hasn’t he?

    I’m sure Elly will be happy to just know that April is walking and is should be happy whether she is there or not.

    I can never understand how any mother would rather work than staying home and see these wonderful baby miracles first themselves.

    So much for Mike’s plan to have a party in the house while his parents are away.

    If FBOFW was set in the US, this is how the story arc would end with the theft of Elly’s new car:

    That’s the sound of Gordon, Michael, and Gordon’s father working on the chain gang.

    That’s the sound of Gordon, Michael, and Gordon’s father working on the chain gang.

    All day long they work so hard until the sun goes down.

    Working on the highways and byways and wearing a frown.

    You see them see them moaning their lives away.

    And hear somebody say..

    That’s the sound of Gordon, Michael, and Gordon’s father working on the chain gang.

    That’s the sound of Gordon, Michael, and Gordon’s father working on the chain gang.

    Their, their, their work is so hard.

    No welfare bums here.

    Their work is so hard.

    Give them water, they are thirsty now.

    Life moves pretty fast Michael. If you keep snacking while your slacking you may just choke yourself.

    It would be interesting to see more strips of the time before the kids were born.

    and, once again, the teen age boy only heard what he wanted to hear, he was dreaming party central, his parental units OTOH already knew what he was thinking.

    Maybe Ted can drag John off to the bar after work and Mike will have the house to himself.

    Typical teenage boy. Listens with one ear and hears nothing. I miss those days.

    Rather work? Most of the time – like for me – there was NO choice involved. If I didn’t work, we didn’t eat. Don’t be so quick to judge without knowing all the details.
