For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 25, 2020

Coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. Much healthier than sugar, and longer lasting without the sugar crash.

A couple months back Michael was trying to feed April some honey, so it should be no surprise that someone is going to try apple. The parents really need to sit these kids down and give them the “Here’s what you don’t feed the baby” talk.

Can she even eat apples yet?

Bring one new kid into the world, take an old one out.

Lynn’s Comments:

I was never healthier or in better shape than I was when I was slugging kids around, digging in the garden, and doing housework.

So Ellie, agree with Michael and tell him you’d better join a health club. Then take him up on his “offer” to babysit for half an hour while you go. Doesn’t matter what you do during that half an hour but it’s yours free of charge. I’d suggest the library.

Doctor would have said the same thing to her.

Michael you was not there, mom was doing a lot of exercise, she was resting.

April is going to bop her little face on that hard baby frame, one of these days!

As Michael explains, holding a can of soda in his hands.

you can suck on them and get the flavor without shoving it down your throat if you make the slice big enough

Well, that which does not kill you makes you stronger, but it’s exhausting. Usually. Sometimes it’s terrifying. I have never heard of a car wreck making anyone stronger.

Michael being Michael; i.e., a total little shite.

Having asshats like St. Michael and Eliza-twit living in your house would make anyone are prematurely.

Yeah, and you need a heavier coffee cup.

By the way, I recommend hearing protectors or ear plugs when operating the vacuum. But, if Ellie did that, where would April be while Ellie is vacuuming?

If you time it right Elly, your right foot can meet up with his butt perfectly. But if you are a bit early with the kick, he’ll be on the floor and think twice before he ever sasses you again. Seems like a win-win situation here.
