For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for April 01, 2018

TOO MUCH company

A few comments:

1. “If you don’t make a mess”. Spoken like a mother who has never done Easter Egg colouring.

2. While I am impressed that we have one of the rare occasions where the colourist got Elizabeth’s hair colour correct, that same colourist apparently is unaware that all three of the Nichol’s kids are blonde and decided Christopher gets brown, Richard gets red, and Leah gets dark brown.

3. While Elly tells Elizabeth she can’t have friends in next year, she may not have noticed that Elizabeth is involved in 4 of the 5 fights shown.

I have never once colored Easter eggs. Easter was about Jesus, not about eggs and chocolate and flowers.

Ah well, I still got plenty of chocolate – shaped like a cross, of course!

It’s more fun when Mom sits in and teaches sharing and good behavior, instead of just letting them go on like spoiled brats. ED-JU-KATE them! ;-)

@dntme: Oh! The Humanity!

My mother got sick of the whole coloring thing and would boil the eggs in onion skins so the would all turn brown. No one complained. I make deviled eggs myself.

Those kids near their back sides warmed.

Should be, next year, no Richard in to color Easter eggs, since he seems to be causing most of the problems.

Never trust ANYONE who says “trust me”.

For some reason, my Mom made us do these projects in the Garage.

Just wait until they find out they forgot to boil the eggs!!!

We used to punch holes in the ends of raw eggs and blow out the whites and yolks, wash them and then color them with permanent markers. Too afraid of salmonella to try that with my kid.

Its also more messy honey and also leads to more work for mommy
