Red and Rover by Brian Basset for October 01, 2024

In time he’ll learn he should have said. “Oh, no, Mom. You’re much too trim and stylish to be mistaken for a yellow cab.”

Our little boy is maturing….sniff

Good catch. Out of nostalgia I prefer a Checker Cab.

Now try to explain this to your best friend Rover…

Yes .. I’ll come get you…me along with Rover..

Where is Rover during all this? I miss him already :(

Now it would be fare if she charged him for the ride.

Wow, his mom thinks like me. When my girls were in elementary school I would walk to get them & we’d walk home together. One time I watched as a lot of the other kids handed their backpacks to their moms to carry home for them. My older daughter went to hand me hers. I said, “I am NOT your pack mule.”

As a kid, my grandmother would take me on many Checker Cab rides in Chicago. I loved to sit on the pull up jumper seat in the back as we tooled down Michigan Avenue. Oh, the Walnut room and Santa @ Marshall Field’s.

Where is Rover in all this?

Request….always better than a demand!!!!

Much better. Red — good thinking!

Smart boy.

You are a smart and caring boy

well, he fixed that quick. :J

Good boy,red!

Red recovers and tries the ‘be nice to Mom’ approach…
