For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 28, 2021

Well. finally, you did something right, Elly.

bravo

I hope you brought the felt pens you opened

What happened to the too-tight jeans?

Very nice, Liz…

Ahhh! Those rare but rewarding moments.

Just for jollies, I went back through the archive to see if there were any moments where Elly taught Elizabeth how to keep track of money. If I were to go just from the comic strips, there are many where John is the one keeping track of the money that Elly is spending and complaining when she goes over budget. It’s possible that Elizabeth thinks John is the good teacher when it comes to money issues.

The best compliment a parent can EVER hear from his or her offspring, says I

The rare teenage compliment!

Awwwwww

I was in retail management for some 30+ years. I taught my step granddaughter how to shop. Every year for Back to School we would shop, just the two of us. I showed her all the fashion stuff and where it was located and then showed her where all the bargains were. She said she like shopping with pawpaw.

Credit where credit is due.

❤️

Can you imagine Michael saying something like that?

Don’t cry mom – cherish these moments.

Great compliment on mom.

Wow…only thing we ever got out of our daughter when we first sent here school shopping her own was a couple of grunts… ME: " so how did it go" HER: ‘ok’…ME: ‘so what did you buy’ … HER: ‘stuff…’ ME: ‘what kind of stuff’… HER: ‘you know…school stuff’ … ok…good talk…great conversation… hope to talk again soon ( like when your 30)

Nice one Elizabeth…

You get to do your own clothes shopping from now on(!) and your mom is happy too!

: – )

My granddaughter likes showing me the clothes she buys. She also asks my advice on some things. She seems to value my opinion.

Aw that was really sweet of Liz!

Cover the rear end. Done.

Nice! No snark, and a compliment, to boot!

Sweet.
