Reverse psychology and intermittent positive reinforcement ….two secret weapons any one can use to effect change in their life. Lol Ellie’s using both on John. He hasn’t a chance.
Yeah that’s what I thought. She probably wants his help with something that he ought to be doing anyway but the only way to get it is to use these kinds of moves on him.
Everybody seems to have forgotten Saturday’s strip already, judging from the comments assuming that Ellie is working toward some tactical objective. But women are perfectly capable of strategic thinking as well, especially when it comes to relationship issues. I think Ellie realizes that John needs a little encouragement to keep plugging away at what may once have been a calling but seems more and more like just a job.

If it’s time to practice for Valentines Day, I better stop and get ice cream on the way home.

We don’t always have an ulterior motive, sometimes we just want to show our love and appreciation. :-)

Ellie must want to go on another vacation in the Bahamas. Or lets face it: Ellie and John are rekindling their romance. <3
