My mom’s favorite word. I viewed it as a way to talk with the kids, see what they thought and the reason behind the tattle. After hearing my mom yell at the youngest for being a tattle-tale, I asked her what was wrong. Well, my tomboy was dangling from a tree limb with a rope wrapped around her leg. That was important to know. And the tomboy was my mom’s favorite kid so I think she learned a lesson too. Bless those little tattle-tales. Some tattles are very important.
Being a tattle-tale is attention seeking behaviour.So if a boy is neglected by his mother for instance,chances are he’ll exhibit various and sometimes strange behaviours like tattling,or leaving weird posts on go-comics.
Being a tattle tale deals with bringing forth hidden wrongs. Wikileaks has done very good service to us. But this attacking “tattle tales” as wrong supports any secrecies no matter how wrong they are.
Re the Winnipeg/Portage La Prairie lady of the last two Saturdays:Thanks for all the great responses. Dating is like walking a minefield! Fortunately I’m 8 mo. away from a 50th with 4 kids and 9 grands – no in-fighting, a Mech. Engineer, two RNs, two more Coll. Juniors aiming for medical degrees and a high-school teacher. None spent a night in jail or come home drunk. Something worked out right!
Tattle-tale tattle-tailhanging on the bulls tailetc etcWatch out Richard – you might encourage others to tattle on you, and lose in the game of “Tattle poker”(A term from Baby Blues)
Being a tattle-tale shouldn’t nessesarily be viewed as either right or wrong in children.It takes courage to tell the truth when you know your peers may view it in a negative fashion.There is a fine line between telling the truth and ratting out however.If a child is constantly telling on someone without being prompted,then that s a sigh that something is amiss.
Richard & his siblings seemed to disappear later on in the strip. Their mom Anne was still seen, but the kids didn’t show up anymore, even for things like weddings. Even though we still saw Lawrence, Gordon and Brian & Dawn.
Yes, Elly, you are unaware that you daughter has left your yard and gone to the park. That apparently does not concern you. What concerns you is that Richard is a tattle-tale. Priorities?

I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t say to my best friend’s kid, that he was a tattle-tale. Seems kind of mean in my book.

Do people call Richard “Dick”? Because he’s being one.

Can we add a prayer for World Peace and a meteor to strike Donald Trump dumbfounded too?? Or is that asking God for too much??
