    Mom and Dad truly understand. They should have given her $15.

    Sure- it’s easy when all they do is pee, poop, eat, and sleep. If the kids have half a brain, they’ll hang onto those certificates for a few years- they’ll need them a lot more then.

    “Don’t pay her” reminds me of an old joke, but it’s a bit off-color so I won’t repeat it. :o)

    If Rosalyn’s character were more honorable, I might recommend paying her whole tuition, but as it stands, that would be like “talking out of school”, although it stretches the meaning of the expression.

    @afficionado,Your imagination might be “worse than you think”, but it doesn’t match the extent or intensity of Calvin’s imagination! :o)

    @Puddleglum2 and @ Margueritem- just a tad bit out of character for both of you, n’est pas? Tapping into the Christmas cheer? Love it when you let your hair down a little.

    @bluskies,Are you trying to make me ‘moan’ with guilt? I just baited marg, Bdaysuit, (or someone else) to ‘bite’!

    Rosylyn is your only hope of getting out of the house again. Pay the eight and don’t be late.

    Mom and Dad know Calvin. Knowing that, they know they need Rosalyn. Give her the extra money, Dad. And keep her number on speed dial.

    You reminded me of the other joke; What’s the difference between an enzyme and a hormone? Again, it’s a bit off color, and certainly off topic. You can google it, there are, at least, two good answers.

    I thought Rosalyn was in 10th grade—or is she taking some advanced classes at the local Comm College?

    Rosalyn puts up with all that angst for the equivalent of Starbuck’s coffee! Seems a bit underpaid!

    I have looked everywhere. Is Dogsniff okay?

    Happy New Year to all. May it be safe and fun.

    Wait … did that actually say $8????I haven’t had a babysitter that cost less than $25 for the evening in years … and that’s without a tip!

    The babysitter’s cost is often the most expensive part of a night out for my wife and I which, sadly, with this economy is seldom enough.

    It looks amazing! When did you buy the phone you have now?

    Watch out, Calvin!!! Hobbes is likely to defect so that he can give Rosalyn a New Year’s smooch!!!

    Well, she did put him to bed as soon as they left — that could have something to do with it. Rosalyn would never babysit any kids of mine.

    Feeling guilty is self-imposed. Guilt is real!Acknowledge, confess, receive forgiveness, and go on with your life!
