Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 22, 2018

Let kids work out their own problems. There’s a fine line between rescuing kids from the realities of life and outright neglect.

Whoa. Is that her older sister’s hand-me-down. I can relate.

I usually think, try prayer, and by the way, I need a few sent my way, okay.

Insecticide helps if you have a borer problem.

Boredom makes the world go around.

Zen occupy your mind.

She and her Dad are The Board of Directors through Boredom..

After years of meretricious and painful research it is my conclusion that one of five generic comments covers every Frog Applause™ strip:

1.      Don’t you people ever sleep?

2.      I don’t get it.

3.      Sorry – this is Frog Applause™. The Chinese rope bed torture convention is next door.

4.      The overlords aren’t gonna like this.

…. (and, if all else fails) …

5.      Umm … Spork!

Don’t ask Mom, she’ll give you something to do!

WhaT a DumP!

(You get the feeling she came out of the womb saying that!)

Dad’s a fat lot of help. Puts the “we” in ennui.

Boredom: “…The shriek of unused capacities.” (Saul Bellow)

Dad is too smart! He is teaching her self-reliance, and maybe getting a bonus cure for himself as part of the package!

What a thoroughly admirable level of Parental Neglect!

…But give a kid a book and she’ll be un-bored for life….

Teresa’a LAME is spreading. Sisyphos was right the other day about her inspiring influence, unintentional or not.
