For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for March 15, 2023

Seniors already?

It’s funny but “Michael Storylines” so rarely involve the actual schooling and teachers part of life that I didn’t realize at all that he was a senior. They did things like school dances and such, but it was really more a means to an end to get to some socializing. More or his stuff seems to revolve around his job. Compare him to Elizabeth, who is constantly doing stuff in and around school and dealing with teachers and classes.

Don’t sweat it, Michael. I am 60 and still don’t think I am ready for the world. Or is it that the world just isn’t ready for me? ;-)

Not one of them notices the girl next to them.. Oblivious!

Wow, within months we have blow by the teenage years. That is kewl. I just forgot how fast that went.

Kinda like real life as a parent!

This one hits close to home. My “baby” is graduating in 3 months.

Not!

You’ll be great

That ski site must not have south or west slopes.

If it weren’t for the cops breaking up that make-out session, Mike could have been referencing the Jackson Browne song.

“No one expects the Spanish Inquisition”. Life always throws curves.

Well, we got no choice

All the girls and boys (girls and boys)

Making all that noise (ooh)

’Cause they found new toys

We can’t salute ya

Can’t find a flag

If that don’t suit ya

That’s a drag

School’s out for summer

School’s out forever

I’m bored to pieces

Well, we got no class

And we got no principals (ooh)

And we got no intelligence

We can’t even think of a word that rhymes, well

We can’t salute ya

Can’t find a flag

If that don’t suit ya

That’s a drag

School’s out for summer

School’s out forever

I’m bored to pieces

No more pencils, no more books

No more teachers, dirty looks

Out for summer, out ’til fall

We might not come back at all

School’s out for summer (detention)

School’s out forever

School’s out with fever

School’s out completely

Doesn’t he mean whether we are ready for it or not?

There is a place that will ensure all three of them get ready for adulthood: the Army recruiter’s office.

Beware the ides of March

Wonder if they realize that may have been the last time they put on a pair of skis? That stage in life bring changes.

Yep…..ready or not!

There is always something to talk about. If Gordon and Michael were with Rhetta’s brother and it turns out he hates liver and onions, they could mock him with this song:

Lorne,

Lorne

Lorne down the liver!”

More likely not.

How come no talk about going to college?

Wait! When did Brian get there?

Time sure flies, eh, lads?

Out! O-U-W-T OUT!

We had over a foot of snow here yesterday, but with today’s warm temps, a good deal of it has disappeared…
