Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for December 13, 2022

You would be so bored with those two well-behaved girls, Mom, that you’d wish for two “different” boys. Well, at least one, like Wallace.

I have 3 sisters. Don’t talk to me about well behaved girls.

What would the daughters’ names be, Mrs. McClellan? Wanda and Stella?

A fantasy indeed….

Now you’re really reaching mom.

But…you have one fairly well behaved boy and one, uh, whatever that other one is.

Ouch!

The road not travelled.

I have two daughters. When they were Wallace and Sterling’s ages, one was God’s gift and one was Satan’s Spawn. Be very careful what you wish for Mrs. M…very careful indeed…

Mom is on a troll tear. Love it!

And Mrs. McClellan shows an honest side we rarely see . .

Dad: “Not having to worry about receiving more insurance claims from the neighbors. That’s one lucky family you betcha.”

teeeeeeeeeee heeeeeeeeeee

Let your mother have her dream, Wallace.

You could always try adding to the family

HINT HINT dad….

Don’t look at the boys like that mom. No amount of ‘dressing up’ will fix the situation.

Take note dad, mom is asking for more children.

I can totally related.

Seagull peeking a look at the boys!

The family’s about ready to go back into the house without you, mother dear.

She is obviously forgetting about her own girlhood…

The grass is always greener…

I have boys and girls. Boys are easier. Waaay easier.

Asked the oldest daughter to behave. She replied “I am being have.”

Sterling no doubt thinks it would look better on fire.

The mommy version of buyer’s remorse. :D

True story. I raised 3 boys. Husband’s brother had 3 girls. At their house visiting once, and the sister-in-law and I were preparing a meal. My boys were outside playing and she kept telling me how she didn’t know how I did it, if she had to deal with boys it would drive her insane, etc. Meanwhile, past her shoulder I watched her 3 girls absolutely tear apart her living room, knocked over the recliner and jumped on it like a trampoline etc. I simply said, straight-faced, oh yes, raising girls must be so much easier. Lol.

YEAH!!

RIGHT!!!!

IMO, when the house is not so brightly illumined that you can see it at night, but only the points of color against the blackness around the edges, that’s way more magical.
