    Little did they know that Carrie the babysitter had a few grudges to settle.

    I remember distinctly the first time I left our oldest with a sitter. I don’t know that I could have done it, if it hadn’t been for the fact that my mom was the sitter. Later on, we hired a teenager, but that first time was scary, especially in the pre-cell phone era!

    for what it’s worth: after many injury-incidents of dislocated ribs and herniated diaphrams (which also tended NOT to dislodge the choke-inducing object and made a horrible death even worse), the “Heimlich” is not taught by the american red cross. back blows, and abdominal thrusts are now used.

    The sitter looks like Abby from NCIS. It should be a fun evening for the baby!

    OMG - it looks like some kind of defective bizarro world clone of ROSALYN!

    Who knew that deep in the bowels of GoComics there existed an inky rendition of sheol?
