For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 24, 2019

Nothing cleans kids up like a good swim in lake water. It beats those baths and showers the kids have in their homes any day.

so, Elizabeth, did you have fun at camp aside you have to go home?

Liz’s red swimsuit is BACK!

There’s always tomorrow.

The kids all look purple too. Polluted lake?

Is it a Canadian thing to call them “yellow buses”? All school buses here in the U.S. are yellow now (back in the olden days when I went to school, we had orange buses)… ;-)

I bet they’re also a lot quieter now after wearing themselves out with all that splashing.

The counselor says “…time to get changed!” — What, they can’t do this on their own? Are they three-year-olds?

I used to swim in a slow moving river in south Texas with a muddy bottom (the river, not me!) and an occaisional water moccasin; enjoyed the heck out of it. Never had a problem.

So the kids are clean, are they? How many of them just peed in that pool?

…Unlike their minds!
