Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for June 14, 2023

Keep it up, Hammie. Mom will have you doing stuff you won’t like.

So true, both

The moment I realized my hearing wasn’t as good as it used to be: I hadn’t heard anything out of the ordinary, but my grandchildren’s mother suddenly stepped over to the stairs and called out, “What’s going on up there?”

But she has a whole list of fun and entertaining chores you can do!

c’mon Hammie…

there are holes that need digging

toys that need smashing (or melting)

reptiles that need catching

bugs that need torturing

the possibilities are endless ☺

I don’t hear quite as well as I used to.

Moms have the hearing of a deer, the eyes of an eagle, the sense of smell of a blood hound, the voice of a PA system on 10, and the two way touch of a wasp or a warm soft fleece blanket.

Pretty much.

Wanda needs to understand that there are guy-thing fun and girl-thing fun, which is one of the reasons two parents are desirable.

Mom can overhear over here, and over there.

Mom’s hear everything.

Here I thought Hammie was sitting outside his own door.

WHAT.A.SET.OF.EARS!

Moms have selective hearing. We can choose to ignore irksome questions and we can hear a complaint from across the street or from the laundry room in the basement

Hammie is in trouble now.

They forgot to draw Zoe’s mouth in the last panel lol

Dads usually are…..

plus, mom has eyes in the back of her head…

I was recently trying to get my eight year old nephew to stop doing something annoying and he said “I thought you were all about fun” with just the right mix of hurt, disappointment, and anger to make it devastating.

Haha! XD
