Mike: Hey MOM! MOM! I can't turn the water off! Elly: Honestly, Michael l - I've shown you a thousand times! Just turn the handle to the right! Mike: I tried, but I just can't do it! I'm only a kid, you know. Elly: So tell me... how is it that a kid who builds intergalactic space modules and crushes pop cans with his bare hands can't turn off a water faucet?

I think all the women here are on the right path. My first thought was, just wait until he grows up. It won’t be any different. “Honey, I can’t find my keys!” “Honey, I can’t find the remote!” ect, ect…

Poor Elly! I thought she supposed to be her duty to turn the faucet off while Michael was in the bathtub. Maybe she should be aware not to let him to turn the “hot” faucet on all the way and burn him up. Oh well! lols!

Michael isn’t a “small child” if he’s capable of doing what Elly describes in the last panel. But even my 19 year old son will pretend he’s helpless at something, so someone else will do it for him. Of course, I think he learned that trick from his dad!
