Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for November 24, 2024

Not a good thing to do, Mom.

Ever hear the story of the boy that cried wolf?

This calls for ice!

The privilege of age?

That is ‘Mama’ Pearl always getting a reaction out of her kids ! ! !

Not a funny strip, since I went down on my knees and we had to call 911 today.

When (not if) it happens for real, it will seem a lot less funny!

And she wonders why her two daughters are so messed up, pulling a stunt like that! Some example to follow.

Not kind, Eve.

In the days before cdll phones, my very large aunt was stuck in the tub and couldn’t get out. It was almost 24 hours before someone came to her door. Luckily it was summer so she didn’t get too cold. After hearing that I have made sure to always have a phone near when I am taking a shower. A few years ago I fell out of the shower but that’s a story for another day!

After I finish drowning you.

When husband takes a shower I have to sit in the bathroom while he does so – as he is afraid of falling.

When I take a shower he will be in our home office nearby and I have to leave the door open so he can hear me call if I need him (has never happened yet – fingers crossed).
