Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 24, 2019

Gotta love Sally’s imagination.

I wonder if Harry Belafonte wanted to record a song about this.

You “say” just fine, CB. It’s Sally’s “hear” that’s off kilter.

Or you could write about how the gravy boat slides into the harbor.

What is interesting about grapes?

As strange as it sounds, that might actually work.

Sally ought to write a book or two herself! :D

I think the pendulum has swung too far the other way. My kids are being assigned books that they would be disciplined (#metoo and all that) for reading aloud in the hallway.

The good news is that Sally knows the word “arbor”, the bad news is that she does not know what it means.

Is that where they got the “apple bushes”? Rock snakes? And gully cats? They all came over in a grape boat… :-P

I bet the boat’s name is “Wrath”. that’s right, she’s writing about the grapes of Wrath.

Damn, I love Miss Brown’s school reports. And grape boats ARE exciting

The Grape Boats are coming there’s dancing tonight!

Sounds like a grape idea, Sally!

Some jive turkeys just don’t listen.

“Good grief” would have been apropos.

No, the problem is that you’re the most normal in a world of wackos.

At that point, there’s really nothing to say…

Ah yes…the origins of arbor day…

She could go to the public library…just sayin’

If she were a little older and the Internet existed, she could have written about why this book was banned. Dang bunny bigots!

Why not write about the running of the grapes?

There’s a girl in a Arbor town…..

If you say nothing, Charlie, you let your little sister look foolish. How will she feel when the other kids in her class laugh at her? How will she feel when she realizes her big brother was smart enough to prevent it, but didn’t?

Malaprops, galore!

See if the public library carries the book and check it out there?

I believe this line became the basis of the Peanuts special, “It’s Arbor Day, Charlie Brown.”

Children have fond memories of select themes for which they remember every detail.
