For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for May 16, 2009

Nice try Michael, but no cigar as they used to say.

Nothing like trying to duck the issue………….

Not a scapegoat but a scape duck!

I’d stick with that story…at least until I could come with something better.

What’s the problem anyway, she’s wearing clogs and the flooring is tile…

I had a rubber ducky who was afraid of the water and couldn’t swim.

Those are bedroom slippers and children should be in a tub of water playing, but it shouldn’t be so deep that you get a huge mess all over the floor.

Oh, quit fibbing about that toy duckie. Michael, you play too rough in the bathtub that is how the water overflow too much.

Break out the “wet-dry vac”! Michael’s old enough to use one with supervision… cleaning up his duckie’s mess will teach him to control that duck better next time! ;-)

all our kids could get water all over the floor with 4 inches in the tub… i think they learned it from our dog

lol northwoodser

Who among us has not tried this ancient ploy - when in trouble, blame the duck.

Shades of Calvin!! LOL

See the smirk on Duckie’s face? He knows he got Michael into trouble! =D
