Oh dear, who gets angry at an innocent toddler’s mistake?! It’s the time to guide kindly, praise good behavioiur to the skies, forgive other behaviour so that they can do better next time. Elly has only herself to blame, after all she left a fragile decoration within reach of an unsupervised young child!
You need to offer the kids an alternative, John. Like getting out the PlayDough or colouring books or jigsaw puzzles! Makes my kids forget that there is such a thing as TV :)
Oh come now, AS IF any woman puts on short shorts all unsuspecting that her husband will appreciate them! I know if I dress like that when my husband has a day off, it’s pretty much an open invitation for a day of attention :)
I started reading the strip as a young teenager (too many years ago lol) and followed it until the end, am now interested to see the beginning which I missed the first time around.
Yeah Ellie is pretty self centred and annoying - so was I at that age - my character evolved, so did Ellie’s!
Okay, I admit that if I was Ellie, the strip would end with a smooch :)
Makes you wonder if Ellie likes music at all - surely if she did she’d be excited enough about a new stereo to come round pretty quickly! Maybe John should just say “it’s for YOU darling” and all would be well.
“although unlikely a six-year-old would already be considering marriage,” - don’t you believe it! My five year old daughter has for the past two years been unswerving in her intention to marry a boy she met at preschool. She has the wedding day and after party planned too :) Now her three year old sister has picked out a prospective husband too!
