Drabble by Kevin Fagan for December 18, 2023

Nice boy but he doesn’t know a thing.

She’s not doing Norman any favors by just doing things for him instead of teaching him how to do them himself! When he’s finally out on his own he won’t know what to do and his future girlfriends will immediately be put into a mothering role that is a huge turnoff they’ll likely break up with him over!

Better to teach your kids (including sons) how to accomplish all domestic duties from buying gifts to doing laundry, changing a flat tire to cooking a decent meal etc etc so that they are capable of living without you. After all you will inevitably be gone one day and you want your children to be able to thrive even if you aren’t there to help them!

Um, you forgot Oogie and Bob.

I put the didukh on the table on Jan 7th.

Wasn’t he working?

Outsourcing is really getting ridiculous.

Since she bought Norm’s present for her, will she be surprised when they open the gifts?

Especially since she paid for them all.

I know. Its the comics, but that boy will never grow up.

I remember when I was 9 or 10 years old, I stole some of my father’s cigars before Christmas and wrapped them up and gave it to him for his Christmas present.

At least he CHOSE the gifts (“the gift you wanted to give….”). (At least the one for his dad. The others were unclear)

Maybe Norm doesn’t have Prime or money or time or a brain or…

And didn’t require much effort or thinking on your part, as usual.

Wonderful (/s) training for a boy who will never be able to leave home.

Norman is lucky that his mother is paying?

June bought Norman’s own gift to her? I don’t what to say on that.

So funny

My wife buys her own gifts and has for YEARS. That way it’s what she wants, the right size and color too.

That there are actually people like that out in the world who will shop for someone else without them knowing about it, …
