Alex, your Dad is figuring you out.

Love that classic Peanuts inspired child unfocused look on Alex’s face in the third panel.

She really seems to be the best of both her parents, cool head and warm heart.

She’s good. Very good.

Nice try, Alex, but not entirely convincing! :D

What Mike says to her in the last panel is exactly what she is saying to her own twins in the present.

Yeah, but that was very effective faux sob.

A young Sarah Bernhardt!

Alex’ nose is already starting to look like her fathers.

Pity. And she’s still so young!!

There she is. My little drama queen.

She is JJs daughter…

Mike raised a child genius without feeling TOO inferior to her.Not easy to do.

Good job Mike, you didn’t fall for it!

She should have stopped while she was ahead. That last line was too obvious!

Alex is only a “little girl” when it suits her. Other times, she is more capable than many adults I know.

Early-onset feminine wiles.
