Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for February 18, 2023

Is this Wren’s first complete sentence?

How does Hammie know what a landfill looks like?

This means they have too many toys.

Why are they in Zoe’s room? And why does Wanda expect them to clean up Zoe’s room?

Wanda forgot who she was talking to and needed to be more explicit.

In the bathtub, they can play “Great Pacific Garbage Patch.”

You’re quite the influential older brother to Wren, Hamish.

we need stuff from the garbage can to make it complete.

Good idea, Hammie!

she should’ve worded it differently… :}

Is Wren Hammie’s mischief partner now? Probably drives Zoe nuts!

Go with the flow.

Not quite what Wanda had in mind. She like Connie Duncan have to be very specific with their comments/directives when communicating with their sons. Leave no leeway or loopholes.

I think Mom was hinting for you to clean up the landfill, Hammie.

Ah, Wanda’s little dump lings!

[ heavenly choir ]

Hammie and Wren are forming a close bond — is Zoe the odd “man” out

When my brother and I were younger, we hated cleaning up our toys (he could stand it more than I could), so this was a popular game in our house. Ah, good memories.

Wanda, Wanda, Wanda…be careful not to give them ideas.

I wonder what the rules are.

“Mom, what’s a landfill?”…

You are improving young Padawan…..

Makes perfect sense to me.

In Hammie’s defense, Wanda you just said “do something about it”. You should know by now you have to be precise with Hammie.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

And so it happens – cute baby turns into ugly toddler. It’s a well known medical condition that most pediatricians and all parents refuse to talk about in public.

My brother’s wife divorced him for saying things like that to the kids. Well, there was more to it than that, of course, but it’s not like he swore at them or hit anybody or anything like that. If you don’t give your mate and kids positive reinforcement, even little things can seem really bad.

Haha! XD I don’t think that’s what she had in mind!
