With 2 brothers and 2 sisters, I was always the invisible one to my parents and stayed up whenever I wanted. Sometimes it was fun , but most of the time . . . . kinda lonely : o (
I believe for me it was 8:30 or 9 PM. We actually ate supper at 7 PM.
I thought the only explanation for the difference between Calvin and his parents was that he was adopted. At any rate, having just one Calvin is good enough reason not to have any more.
Yep, and it is amazing how much smarter dad and mom become when the former youngster/teenager reaches the early 20s. My dad has been gone now for 32 years and mom for 10. I still miss not having them around to visit with and get occasional sage advice. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of mom and dad.

Most of my childhood, bedtime was 7.

I’ve always wondered if that was meant to imply Calvin was adopted. Because, face it, who’d want to give birth to him?

Dad, be careful what you wish for-with the advent of the 20-something “boomerang kids”, you just might get it!

My son has been like this in the morning most of his life… and he’s 22 now; still a morning grump.

One day Calvin will get children of his own and his dad and mum will be happy – for more reasons than one.

I bet Calvin wishes his dad was a 25 year old with his own apartment.

25 year olds are just as surly when they get up in the morning. Dad should know this.

Calvin’s facial expression in the seventh frame reminds me of Rat Fink.. http://www.ratfinkparty.com/2010/001fink.jpg

Does Dad always wake up with a smile on his face? My guess is no.

(To Calvin’s dad) Listen bub, How would you like your bedtime to be more permanent? Then stifle.
