Shouldn’t Miles’ mother’s hands be pink, not mauve?

on the third panel miles is thinking about how many swear words he knows

its very easy miles just say im smorrly kevin

Maybe they shouldn’t play Kyle’s rap cassette one time.

Give yourself 15 minutes: Go to your room, put your face in a pillow, and swear as loud and long as need be. 15 Then stop. (All that screaming and swearing only agitates your nerves and tenses things up) Next step: breathe…quietly in and out… just focus on breath. 1st the releasing; then the calming. Or not – And really… What the Hell do I know?

Do what the church-going god-fearers do. Make words up and look angry.

Let’s NOT get carried away, here. . .Kevin will NOT handle an apology well. He’ll either gloat for days. . .or remind Miles of it for the rest of his life. . .better to point out that THIS is why you should watch what you say. . .or to say whatever you like to whomever you like BUT accept the consequences. . .gawd, this strip could go on for days. . .

Many of the kids running around my apartment complex swear like sailors on leave; some as young as kindergarten. At least one regularly cusses out his mother in epic screaming matches. I think he may be 7 by now . . .

I learned to count to ten in nearly a dozen languages. When I was done, I swore in nearly a dozen languages.

To quote Harrison Ford, “Ha, HA! Son of a…”

I’m watching my grand daughters grow and I can see the older one saying this. I laughed out loud reading this. Thank you so much for the smile you put on my face first thing this morning.

What should Miles apologize for?

You can always become a Hollywood movie script writer and make up for it in late life…

No kids of my own, but I’ve never given my niece and nephews a hard time about swearing. I told my niece once, “I don’t believe in bad words. Words are tools; it’s all in how you use them.” Swearing to relieve stress? There are way more harmful things to do.

Agreed Miles.
