Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 24, 2022

You want Dill to bring his bike so you can ride it, Alice?

The new kid has a nice bike.

I mean if he’s not mad about it…then

Short term thinking is only bliss when you are a kid. As an adult, you’re bait for conmen and populists …

Good not to be a "long time grudge holder”. In life, i mean. With Alice… :-)

At least kids have their own way of getting over grudges quickly, maybe a lot sooner than adults usually do.

So Alice, all of a sudden he is recognizable; well sorry, but the boy’s off to some much needed self therapy.

Alice doesn’t deserve Dill’s friendship.

Yes, Madeline! Crack down hard on Bad Barefoot Alice. No dessert, no TV, early to bed! Do not go soft on her….
