For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for March 30, 2024

Awww.

That’s a parrot? It looks more like a griffen.

Miss you? Dunno but they are certainly thinking of you.

How about the tee reading. “My parents sailed the Caribbean and all I got was this lousy shirt!”?

Take her a live parrot. She’d love an African Grey to talk to.

“My parents went on a Caribbean cruise and all I got was this lousy T-shirt”

I’m gonna assume it’s a parrot plush and not a real parrot.

It’s good to get away, but seeing the family at the end is still a lovely feeling.

April is getting a parrot? Guess she was very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very good as she promised her mother last week.

Yes, they did, April.

Looks like she bought a green shirt for Elizabeth. But the stuffed toy looks more like a dragon.

Cruises are fun but when you go to a port you have limited time to do anything before you get back on the ship. Most people do day tours of the popular hot spots

April is getting a deformed parrot. Elizabeth is getting a shirt too small for her. Michael is getting… a palm tree? Sounds like vacation shopping to me.

“…Watchin’ the sun bake, all of those tourists covered with oil…”

Hey! The sun’s out, here on the Southcoast of Massachusetts

We’re all damp and soggy now, but we’ll dry out.

Wishing a nice Easter to everyone!

I always thought palm trees grew out of your hand.

At times, most definitely at other times you are miles away….

Missed you? Yes. Missed you enough to not enjoy a little time away from the kids? Not just NO! but #E!! NO!!!!

I try not to pile on with criticism of fake parents LOL, but it is odd to me that someone who has been a dentist his entire career never took his child to see palm trees if it’s something he’s always wanted to see. I mean, he has the money soooo

They think about you, but don’t miss you for a second.

And you, Cru-Elly, left them behind like a fool!

Michael’s never seen palm trees?

They think about you all the time, April!

Elly should go to a 6-hour offshore Caribbean medical school. Then she can say “No more Elly the Dropout!” and John can say “OHIP sure can use you. Maybe the next time I am waiting for treatment I will only get to read War and Peace once."
