Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for August 11, 2022

Why did she grab 12?

Zoe, those are binders, not notebooks.

Now you need at least three to four backpacks to carry all those notebooks, Zoe (four backpacks for three notebooks or three backpacks for four notebooks).

Zoe, you’re such a spoiled brat!

If I were her I probably try to convince mom to get 3

Expect to do a lot of writing Zoe?

that’s quite a blessing

To Zoe, unicorn notebooks are like Lays Potato Chips……………..You can’t have just one.

And?

I wonder if she is a fan of Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. She and Phoebe could be good friends.

Technically, Zoe said “Unicorn Notebooks!” …

She didn’t say, UNICORNS plurally at first.

Those look like binders to me.

You have two choices, Zoe: one or zero.

Marigold: Unicorn!

And your mom said one.

Zoe you do not need all those.

Those look more like binders to me…

No Zoe, you said “They have Unicorn notebooks.” Nothing there in the plural for you on Unicorn notebooks and you didn’t even ask for one or a couple and mom said distinctly – One. The plural on notebooks implies they – the store – has a bunch.

I have to admit, my kids tried to pull this stuff too.

That unicorn looks like she’s wearing a party hat.

Marigold Heavenly Nostrils would approve, I’m sure.

I am not sure what the attraction is but have noticed how my 3 year old granddaughter loves her unicorns.

(It’s not like they are dinosaurs.)

Yeah mom! Get w/ the program! XD
