For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for November 19, 2021

Common sense has left the building

Interesting comeback to John’s concern, El.

But looking frumpy is cool.

If she has plenty to wear, why can’t she leave her mother’s clothes alone? (John meant to say, “You have plenty to wear.”)

Next time Liz needs clothes, mom can pretend she is buying them for herself, but will really be meant for Liz to “borrow”.

My sister and I never borrowed each others clothes or our moms clothes either. It was never a thing to do in our house.

Honestly Elly it’s not worth it if she doesn’t ask first.

I could borrow my mom’s shoes til I was in 9th grade. And sometimes she’d loan me a sweater. I had my own style, and it wasn’t hers :)

On the other hand, I was always snagging Daddy’s old Summer Whites uniform tops… LOL!

I guess Elizabeth wants to look like some dumpy frumpy librarian spinster.

At the risk of being rude, that’s not difficult…

When your favorite “dress up” doll is finally old enough to dress up herself, it is nice to know she likes your stuff. …I imagine.

With age…comes sags.

Oh that raised finger! Does anyone ever do that in real life?

She’s got a younger body.

Ahhhh! The purple sweater! Very nice.

There must be a gazillion sweaters in Canada.

So is learning to share cooperatively.

Well, at least she realizes it.

I wouldn’t have been caught dead in my mother’s clothes…

In eighth grade I could wear my mom’s old saddle shoes and poodle skirt from her high school days. It was super cool, actually.

Much …. MUCH…. better!

Elly should have added “If you wear it you wash it!”

The Infamous Purple Sweater!

I’ve been 5-10 since I was 14. My mummy is 5-2. She always wore MY hand-me-downs!

Just be glad you have the same size as your daughter.
