Ben by Daniel Shelton for March 10, 2023

Which number " Gibbs " rule is that ?

That brings back a funny memory. My dad was asleep on the couch when my sister’s new boyfriend came in to meet him. I tapped him to wake up and he cussed and threw a shoe at me. Poor thing almost died of embarrassment. Only violence he ever aimed at me in my life and it had to be in front of company! We all thought it was funny except dad.

I don’t get these guys who take a nap on the sofa during the day instead of in bed since it would be more private and less likely to be disturbed. This goes for Dagwood too.

No reason to be such a bear about it.

At least not without coffee in hand. Somehow, my granddaughter knew that instinctively. We were going to wake her up, I was following, and I stopped at the bedroom door. My granddaughter got all the wato the top of the bed, realized that I was not right with her, turned tail and ran out of the room.

And Ben does a lot of hibernating!

Well, that was uncalled for, Ben. Chillax, dude.

That’s not like Ben, and he’s gonna traumatize the poor kid.
