Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for April 28, 2019

Tony asked, about 1 hour ago (when he found time to comment something mysterious on yesterday’s strip)

Are you told so?

Not only afterwards if that person wants to keep their specific hearing.

And I do take warnings seriously; I’m no “Sledge Hammer”. Not Peter Gabriel’s; the other one.

Knowing Pete as we do, do you think he would have listened?

Am I told so?

Naw, I’m never told anything.

(sniffle….)

I didn’t think Tony’s question for yesterday was all that mysterious… just too late.

Elliot didn’t understand “capisce”.

So Tony asked “My parents are from Italy. You?”

And I just want to make it clear…..

No, Tony….

I know you think there’s a chance that I’m old enough….

but I’m not from Italy and I’m not your mother.

And definitely not your father!

No never!!! I am what I am, single and free!!!

A little.

OK, now you’ve got a mess to clean up since you didn’t say anything.

For Tony’s QOTD: There are times when I could use a designated nagger, but I don’t have one. Fortunately, I’ve learned from my many mistakes and call in an expert.

She says “going to” and “gonna” in the same sentence. So why doesn’t my Scrabble app accept “gonna” as a real word? It accepts “outta” and “eeew.”

No one ever tells me anything.

My wife used to wait for something to happen so she could say that.
