    Like I kind of said yesterday, my brother and I have five stepsisters and we donā€™t do that kind of sibling rivalry among each other.

    For those still talking about what the someone said ten years or so from nowā€¦ you might want to look up the motivation for a pupā€™s name. (Iā€™m a night owl and so tend to be the last poster of the day, but ā€œas spoiler free as possibleā€ greetings)

    Lynnā€™s Notes:

    I wanted to give Lawrence a challenging situation, and therefore give me something challenging to write about. How was a young boy, accustomed to being in the care of one female adult, going to adjust to a father figureā€“plus two more adult females in his family?

    Didnā€™t catch the early FBOFW so this is all new for me. Iā€™m hoping the new ā€˜sistersā€™ take Lawrence under their wings and shower him with love. A good experience like that would likely shape his relationship with women for the rest of his life.

    Actually, this is very funny in a poignant way. I feel for Lawrence ā€“ because heā€™s right. Maybe, maybe not regarding his new dad, but having to live with two older female siblings ā€“ and we all know how bossy older teenage sisters can be ā€“ plus mom running his life, Lawrence is definitely in for a challenge.

    Iā€™m the big sister of my only sibling. My brother is 6 years younger than I am. We were far enough apart that there was no ā€œsibling rivalryā€ and have been extremely close all our lives. Iā€™m 72 now and he is 66 and Iā€™m still his ā€œbig sissyā€ and always will be.

    I appreciate the not-spoiler info. I LOVE this strip and hope the series continues intact until the end.

    I donā€™t remember why the girls came to live with them, but it wasnā€™t exactly the Brady Bunch!Two teen girls (with attendant emotions all over the place) and a new step-mom. I wouldnā€™t want to be her for anything!Talking about walking on eggshells for 5 or 8 years!Lawrence truns out ok, but it is an eye opener. Remember when the original strip was written.
