For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 23, 2022

Know of any other Canadian toddlers who don’t wear coats in the winter?

Why didn’t Elizabeth carry April’s coat with her?

Poor Liz…

I may be a heartless female dog, but I would have let her be cold and wouldn’t give her my jacket so she would learn a lesson. The other choice would be to carry the jacket and when she started shivering give it to her to put on with a big “I TOLD YOU SO! So next time you better not argue.”

Liz learns a lesson the hard way. Bring her little coat next time if you know she will get cold. Don’t let the child make the final decision. April doesn’t know any better. Just let them have their way for a bit and they will learn from the experience, and will NOT reject the coat next time.

Hey Anthony, if some people say you are secretly following Liz, here’s your chance to score some brownie points. Your girl looks cold. Take off you man’s jacket and put it around her shoulders!

Brat!!!!!!!

I’d let the kid freeze. Let her learn a lesson the hard way.

Bloody toddlers.

she’s a good big sister.

Need to show the child who is in charge. Never had my kids pull this.

Watched my 2 y o grand daughter this week and she wanted to go take off her shoes after we were putside. Seeing that it was a temp in the 40s I had to put my foot down!

Liz forgot to bring the extra coat. Mom is going to be upset.

Children who act like that need a swat on the rump you put on their coat and they wear it period

That’s what I was thinking too. But now she knows what to do the next time.

Mistakes were made. Lessons were learned. Kids and dogs don’t get to win the argument.

I’d just let her be cold

Dumb little sisters…

April was always a little brat. Too bad Elizabeth didnt think to bring her coat along.

So times the answer is so easy!

Below a certain age, children can’t imagine that conditions in the future aren’t the same as the present. Let them go outside for a few minutes. They’ll want the jacket.

I realize she’s a character drawn a certain way…but that little kid is not very likeable.

“Button, button, button, button, button, button, who’s got the button?” d;o)

Wow, with her brattiness, April is becoming a carbon copy of her mother!

Let April shiver her way home, then she’ll learn.

What are sisters for. Love the siblings.

Behaves just like the kid that used to live next door to me. Scream-a-thon every single day. She wasn’t non-verbal, just a brat. Took after her mother who pretty much screamed her head off every day, too.

that is a swat. doesn’t need to be much just enough to get her attention

I think Liz didn’t think to take April’s jacket because she seems to need to get somewhere, and time has already been wasted fighting with the little brat. I know it’s a comic. But I guess I can’t really relate to suffering because a brat got her way. My 8 siblings and I, and my friends and cousins, never got away with nonsense like this. If somebody put your coat on, you left it on. Screaming wasn’t an option, and even if you screamed, whatever you were supposed to do got done. I’m just old and don’t understand, I guess.

LOL..this comic strip always brightens my day ..I “read it and see it” ..and chuckle

Should have let the brat freeze.

Natural blonde too busy thinking about her budding but non existent lovelife

I would have left her cold. She might have learned something
