when both people say ask your dad or mom

How did her dad not know that she had asked her mom? I mean, she yelled it across the house at the same sound level as she did her mom so…

well, it kinda does make sense: When let’s suppose your mother says “ask your father,” that means: yeah, Im okay with it go ask your father to see whether he’s okay with it and then if your father also says ask your mother, he’s also saying Im fine with it so both parents are fine and so paige can have nicole.

I went to the movie theater which i could walk to as a kid. Got grounded for not asking permission. Despite the fact I had asked and both my mom and stepdad had said to ask the other. They said it was because I hadn’t told them what the other said.

this is me

First mention of Nicole, Paiges only friend.

this is what my family is like

I hate when this happens.

This happens in another strip with Jason, except he pulls out a logic book. Shows the difference in personality

first mention of nicole

it’s always so confusing when people do that. “ask your mother”“i asked her and she said ‘ask you father’!”usually i get to do what i want, though

Look at peter in the first panel enjoying a pepsi/cocacola

Nobody answered her so that makes sense
