Only 3 U.S. states have a legal age at which kids can be left home alone. They vary from age 8 to age 14. Can you imagine have to get a sitter for a 13 year old? In my neighborhood we have 11 year old girls babysitting.
My parents tried that on me when I was six. I waved goodby and sat down with my toys. when they got to the car and realized I wasn’t crying at the door, they came back and hauled me off to church. :-)
If you look closely, you will see that the date of this strip is 2007. This is not today’s “One Big Happy” strip. You can see the December 22, 2019, strip at creators.com.
