Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for August 04, 2023

Yeah Hammie good food will provide some comfort after a bad day.

Wow, talk about a bad diet. But I will not. Or did I already. Oh well.

Hammie grabbed an orange, banana and an apple, also. Must be for his parents and Zoe.

My kids had oranges and apples for snacks while playing, you’re lucky Hammie!

Once again Hammie shows he recognizes the important things in life.

GOOD SNACKS!!

Back in the day (early 1960s), within 10 minutes of the last inning, we and our parents had already forgotten who won or lost the Little League games. We got our free sno-cone, had fun for a few minutes while our parents visited, and then went home. Umps and coaches didn’t get yelled at or beaten up. No fans asked to be quiet or leave. Just fun with our friends and a chance to play baseball. What was so wrong with that that we had to change it?

Is that sideburn stubble?!? On Hammie, not Wanda.

It’s all about perspective…

And this is why you lost. More interested in the snacks.

Might want to peel that banana and unwrap those snacks, or will he swallow them whole.

So there wouldn’t be an unequal quality of snacks from rotating parent supplying them, my daughters T-ball team collected a small donation each game from parents and bought treats at the league concession stand after the game. Never forget the near riot when the girls went up and found out the concession stand had run out of ice for snow-cones and it was a very warm day.

Any remnants of childhood that remain in me agree with Hammie’s statement.

Hammie is showing a precocious aptitude for the fine art of making lemonade out of lemons.

Did you leave anything for anyone else, Hammie?

Lame = Nutritious

We got a square of Bazooka Bubblegum before the game when I was kid and that was the extent of it. You know – back in ought six…

Hammie, so young yet so wise to the important things in the world. Well done Hammie.

I like his outlook though!

Hammie, you lucky duck! In my day it was just orange slices and Capri Sun.

You know it, Hammie!

Reminds me of my kids at that age. It was all about the snacks at the end, and socializing at the end, if the team was made up of a like-minded group, that is…

If Hammie keeps up sucking those snacks, he’ll become first string tackle…

Atta boy Hammie.

That’s quite the food pyramid you got there Hammie!

Words to live by. ;-)

I’m surprised he grabbed an apple & a banana!

After my sister’s games we often went with the team to the local McDonalds – it was good fun!
