One day, he will be middle aged and his children will be laughing at HIM in shorts.What goes around comes around. We all get old and nobody looks good in shorts at my age! ;))
What she should do is march outside and hang all his underpants on the clothesline and then invite all the neighbours round for afternoon drinks and nibbles, including all his friends. That would teach him.
There’s a degree of casual cruelty in this strip, especially about the way people look and it bothers me because rarely do any of them get called out for it.
I love being my age – don’t give a rap what others think about either my fashion sense or how I look in my clothes. Being comfortable in the summer heat isn’t easy, to begin with, so who needs a snotty kid doing a job on you?
Just start driving Michael everywhere in those shorts, with lots of makeup, hair in curlers, wearing high heels with toe nails painted and smoking a cigarette using a cigarette holder!!!
Between the four-eyes comment to his little sister and now the shorts comment to his Mom, something should be done to “deflate his over-inflated ego”. Cleaning the kitchen with a toothbrush might be a good start and expand from there.
Smart mouthed kids need to be reminded why acting like that is a bad idea. Being reminded that many of the things they consider rights are actually privileges that their parents allow them was frequently a rather effective method.

Never, never, and I mean NEVER insult the person preparing your next meal. Let the imaginations run wild now with reasons why you shouldn’t.

Who does he think he is? He’s turning into his father and that’s not a good thing. No kid should ever talk that way to his parents!

Michael is becoming mote and more obnoxious as the stories continue. He needs to wake up to himself.

A comment like that to a parent would have gotten me or my siblings knocked into the middle of next week.

Wait until she goes with him to pick out a prom tux. Video of prom night is great wedding rehearsal dinner fodder.

In an alternative universe, he may have noticed something potentially embarrassing, and was warning her. Poor delivery, though….
