PreTeena by Allison Barrows for February 09, 2023

mhm … you bet she is …. NOT

Jeri, you are going to be so hungry by the time you get home. At least they ordered things they would eat. Teena, do you realize how expensive desserts are, especially when extras are ordered with the basic dessert?

Teena and Jeri planed this. So next time Mom and Dad want to go out they can stay at home.

“I’m happy. You happy?” “Sure. You happy?” “Yup”

I guess Fred Basset’s not happy.

I’m with the girls on this one. I don’t feel I can relax in a fancy eatery.

They should definitely have left the girls home. This place would’ve been nice for a date night.

Parents want to go to restaurants based on the prestige and hype. Kids want to go to restaurants where they can get food they like.

I wish I had kids who listened and did what I asked.

If they put salt on the iceberg lettuce, will it melt?

Aren’t they in an Italian restaurant? I would expect some type of pasta on the menu. Teena doesn’t like pasta? (Jeri probably avoids pasta thinking it’s fattening. It’s what’s put on the pasta that is usually bad for you.)

How old is Teena supposed to be in this strip? I’d guess somewhere between 10-12.
