For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 01, 2021

Mike could have brought a girl home and his parents would not even know it.

Elly is impressed with herself, but….Michael is the only one out of the house and so the noises she hears are going to be his. After all, if she is wrong about it being Michael, then who would it be? Farley? Gordon?

You call those sounds LITTLE Elle? ;/

All those canadian teenagers should be taught a very hard lesson about savoir-vivre

Little sounds he makes?

I think people at earthquake centers within 100 miles of him know those little noises as they show up on seismographs.

His first night out and he already broke curfew

Good thing he didn’t try to be polite and sneak in so as not to wake everyone. He might have gotten baseball batted as a burglar.

Michael is about as stealthy as a herd of purple elephants.

Safely back, at least.

Our front door had a really bad squeak. After our kids grew up and moved out, I oiled it.

This falls in the realm of having respect for others. A lesson this male teen needs to learn.

Mike normal entry, then changes upstairs to really quiet, now if a girl mom would really be yelling at Michael. The following is similar to the strip. My brother-in-law’s brother and his wife in bed trying to sleep, when the wife’s adult daughter tried to sneak in the house, the husband who as a step dad, yelled if breaking in will be shot as he had guns and prepared to use, so the step daughter afterwards made noise when coming in late. That husband wanted no sneaking in.

Little sounds?

For us it was the creek of the front door and the sound of the microwave.

I believe You know just about everything about people, don’t you Lynn! You do a perfect job with this strip.

I don’t understand. Michael was clearly out way past curfew! Shouldn’t he be getting the riot act right about now?
