Hobbes: I don't hear her out there anymore. Calvin: Rosalyn?? Are you listening? We have more demands! Do you think she went away? Hobbes: Why would she? We've still got her science notes. Calvin: Doesn't she want them anymore? What's she doing? Hobbes: Maybe she's calling the fire department to ax open the door. Calvin: Really? You think so? Gosh, that'd be great! Real firemen with real axes? I hope they drive their biggest fire truck! Hobbes: I hope your parents are having a restful evening.

(Later, Calvin’s parents return home)
Firefighters (to Calvin’s parents): Good evening, folks. It seems that your son has made trouble for his baby-sitter tonight.
Calvin’s Mom (sarcastically): What else is new?
Firefighters: Listen, we’ve just been talking to her, and to him, and we believe that they’d get along better if she shared his interest in tigers and dinosaurs.
Calvin’s Dad (chuckling): And discussing the world’s problems, no doubt.
Firefighters: Exactly. Also, we don’t think you should’ve gone out and had her baby-sit when she had a test to study for.
Calvin’s Mom: Come to think of it, maybe his Dad and I should also take an interest in those topics, and then we might get along better with Calvin ourselves. Thank you.
Firefighters: You’re welcome. Good night.
