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?
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!
