Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for September 18, 2022

Being careful where you drop it means it’s not an accident.

It’s either got a D or F on it.

Use the FBI method of gluing it back together. Like a jigsaw puzzle.

Purposely dropped it more likely. Nice try, Hamish MacPherson.

Disappointed he didn’t get an A+ rather than a mere A.

I forsee a major timeout coming or being forced to spend more time with Zowie.

I’d just email the teacher lol

If they were available in the U.S., Hammy would eat Shreddies.

I wish they had those when I was a kid!

Call the teacher and ask for a blank copy of the test (or similar problems). Hammie can do it while sitting at the table. Logical Consequences: you have to do the work and I have to see it.

What does accidentally mean?

Ooh… I really hope you weren’t planning on fighting a video game superboss tonight, Hammie…

Is that shredder perhaps named DOG?

is she really that unaware of her childrens’ tendencies?

Mom can deduced that Hammie did bad on math test.

Just call the teacher . . .

So at least the “accidentally” part is a direct lie.

“Well, I’ll just call your teacher and ask her for your grade. And then she can tell me what else you’ve been up to lately.”

Mine, for some reason, always “Fell out of my backpack” upon entering the house. When I went to pick it up, it somehow ended up in the street, always missing my hands. By then it was too late to pick it up so I leave it.

Oh, the teacher sent a copy of it in the mail and a phone call… I couldn’t help it if kid me was “clumsy”

LOL!

My parents would’ve handed me the tape and said ‘Put it back together’.

So Hammie’s math test was in the shredder.

C’mon Wanda you should have seen that coming.

Funny, but whenever I read this strip I hear the voices of the characters from Bob’ Burgers.

Haha! XD

Destroying the evidence pretty much tells your mom all she needs to know. All your mom needs to do is contact the teacher, who has the grade already recorded.
