I’ve hit rocks with sticks since I was a little boy, especially at the beach, and I still do. But, you know, I’ve never done it inside the house. Fortunately, there were no rocks or sticks in the house so I wasn’t tempted.
yesterday was a philosophical discussion about the existential crisis inherent in our temporary existence, today he’s just an idiot. No, I don’t care if “he’s 6,” this is the action of a stupid person, kids don’t DO this…

I’m surprised Calvin can even carry a bat that seems to be taller than him, let alone swing it!

At least he and Hobbes aren’t playing Calvinball in the house; think of the additional damage that would be wreaked.

He put all of his good qualities into a clone that disappeared. Maybe this is what’s left.

That baseball bat would seem like a dangerous temptation for Mom…

I hope he remembers all these when he grows up, and at least tries to make it up to his parents…

In his defence, he thought they were Nerf rocks.

I was a couple years older than Calvin when I gave a very similar response. They didn’t have a legitimate comeback either.

Calvin had to think hard for that funny answer; he’s scratching behind his ear.

Excellent use of science to blame someone else for your mistakes. Calvin Rex. …no. Calvin wrecks.

Mom will change her tune when Calvin turns out to be a professional baseball player. Yeah, that ain’t happening.

Only a complete idiot would think it is ok to hit rocks in the house with a bat. Note that Hobbes is smart enough to be hiding.

Calvin has rocks for brains.

OK. where is Hobbes? Maybe a can of tuna, can buy us a good explanation.

No wonder Calvin’s Mom is mad. Hitting rocks is really bad for a baseball bat.

My bro found some tar but it had hardened so he built a fire to soften it – on the wooden floor or our house.

Alabama’s Song “Mountain Music” references playing baseball with chert rocks, using sawmill slats for bats.

Must be a recessive gene. Each parent has only one copy, but the kid gets two.

I have to admit that if either of my kids had ever said that, I’d have cracked up. Then I would have sent them to their room.
