There must be some time zone flaw here with cleaning up after the Christmas holiday. Yesterday they were practically finishing cleaning with just wiping a bare table with a cleanser. Today however they still have to take down the ornaments and the tree is still inside??
My nephew, at the time aged 5, called his grandpa a very foul word. He didn’t know what it meant, but he heard his daddy (my brother) say it a lot while playing video games. I corrected my nephew, and then called my brother and read him the riot act!!!! Kids will mimic everything they hear, to the dismay of those who should know better! My brother never said bad words in front of his sons again. LOL!
Aaaaand, this IS the strip that was originally published in 1994. Those of us who look at the previous years’ publishing order had expected it yesterday.
For many years I’ve thought that a Christmas tree lying on the side of the road waiting for garbage pickup is one of the saddest and most depressing sights there is.

Nice set-up by Michael. You can see the idea hit him in panel 2.

Poor April doesn’t understand what they’re laughing at.

I’m about to take the main tree down today. I should be finished with the decorations by Saturday, so I can bring up the Valentine ones.

This happens. But usually involves bathroom humor.

Well played Michael, well played, noticing that April was repeating the last two words of every sentence someone spoke.

Well, that was a most successful gag. Michael pitched it. April hit it. Dad caught it full force. …nice

Amazing how little kids are like sponges, taking up everything around them and all that they hear.

My nephew is April’s age, and he’s become quite the little parrot.

Seriously? Not one comment, yet, on “stoopid”?
I’m disappointed in you people!

Then again, John was stupid to show up in a wife-beater and filthy jeans when Rhetta came over for dinner.

Nice way to manipulate your baby sister like that, Michael…
