Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 19, 2019

Isn’t that Kate in the pink outfit?

“A little young for retirement hobbies, don’t ya think?”

Loose change abounds in the sandbox, like at the beach.

Kids should be exposed to new knowledge as soon as they’re ready for it. Otherwise they get bored and stop paying attention altogether.

But first, let’s at least see what he finds.

Why?!? he seems to have the mettle.

The black socks with the Bermuda shorts is a nice touch …

That’s Ed, 70 years ago. Muriel is somewhere in the mix.

Leave him alone. Last week he found someone’s dental retainer that cost $600.

I spent some time with a metal detector and a trowel one summer – I found a LOT of bottle caps, and I think one single penny. Ya gotta love the sport for itself, because it sure ain’t for the treasure!

Cocoon?

I just worry about the red ballcap.

My older granddaughter got her metal detector when she was 9.

A note of caution has been detected.

Kids LOVE to find pirate treasure during pretend. A gadget added for a young geek just sweetens the experience. Although it might not be that great for the kid’s posture and back.

totally inaccurate— not one of those kids has a cell phone

My son was in summer school, and we always got there late to pick him up. He went down to the field where people rode dune buggies and dirt bikes to scavenge. Eyes alone he found a gold Hawaiian bracelet and a silver one. Sold it and he kept the cash. SCORE!

I LOVE the text font! What’s the font name?

Wait until he finds enough “Treasure” to pay for the Metal Detector, though.

Best to find the jacks before they rise to the surface and someone gets hurt…

More Wiley kids. Love ’em!

The problem with sandboxes is… wait. The problems are:

Cats

Sandy pants. And sox. And underwear. And hair. And mouth.

Kids that should still be in diapers. (see “Cats” above)

Broken glass (I kid you not).
