The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for December 31, 2020

He’ll be asleep long before those clocks strike midnight.;-D

I think the right thing to do is to honestly tell the kid he should not be staying up that late.

Won’t work!! Wilberforce will notice that he’s the only one doing the tooting, yelling AND banging those pots! Nice try though…

To quote Yosemite Sam…“This is going to be the horns tootinest, pots banginest, window yellinist new years eve North, South, East and West of the Pecos.”

Let him stay up! It’s only one night and the next day is a holiday so he can sleep late. If he falls asleep early, it’s not your fault…

Smart move

Heck. We’ve been doing that for years. A glass of bubbly, a few shouts of “Whoopie, whoopie”, and we’re in bed before nine.

Of course, Wilberforce doesn’t have any electronic devices of his own which tell the correct time. No cell phone, no tablet, no laptop, etc.

Why not exercise your parental authority on the child? ROTFL

Happy and safe New Year to all!

That is a creative solution to the problem.

Aren’t they in Ohio? All the bars and restaurants have to close at 10 pm, midnight is up to individual interpretation here.

Actually not a bad idea. This way the adults can do what they want to do when the real midnight rolls around, be asleep for two hours….

Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?

Technically, it’s gonna be midnight somewhere. Maybe London?

Then bed time on the correct time. Pretty slick Mom,

Nice try, but you can’t fool Dick Clark and “New Years Rocken Eve”! Wilberforce is gonna want to watch the Big Ball Fall!

Occasionally parents actually are intelligent.

Please tell me he’s yelling “JUMANJI!”
