Earl, Opal may want you to grow yourself a mouthlid if she overheard that.

Nelson gets the greatest biology lessons from Grampa. I can imagine when he explains these things to his teacher!

Please make it stop!

@Mist—-I do believe “bare” means naked. Is that what you really mean, or did you mean bear (same spelling as the animal bear).

Bats can close their ears. Lucky bats.

Opal’s mouth needs to be clamped permanently shut.

Is Earl talking out of both sides of his mouth again?

Good one Earl!

Hmm, mouthlid. Aren’t those called lips?

Press your lips tightly together.

As I get older these thing reveal themselves. How we deal with these is what makes or breaks us in part.

As grandma used to say:

" Earl, yer like Billy Weir,What ye don’t want, ye don’t hear !"

Explanation: Billy Weir was a character that went around the town pretending to be deaf.

pschearer: So can hippopotami.

Never heard it called that, before.

Cheeky git!

Rude Earl but … true XDD

i would like a pair of earlids. i think it would be very convenient. my grandfather would just turn his hearing aid off.

I tell my Earl, "Someday I’m going to be saying something you wished you hadn’t tuned out, like “This gun is loaded!” (I’m kidding, I think)

“If a man speaks in the forest and there is no woman around to hear him, he’s still wrong.”

Every man who reads this says Amen Earl
