Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for June 17, 2022

Hmm, it’s a tug of oar.

Wanda, you’d not need to use mom voice and scare your adult friends if you discipline your kids better and teach them how to act properly in public and as guests at other people’s homes.

ANYBODY REMEMBER THE LOUD FAMILY ON SNL!?

I think Wanda has made a great first impression. The start of a beautiful friendship?

it never ceases to amaze me when parents go out they let their kids run wild without any discipline. Then don’t go out until they’re taught how to act properly in public. You know, when they’re going 36 or so. ;}

A grand piano and a telescope – I see a roll of duct tape in their future.

My mom was a shade under 5ft who raised 4 boys. She wasn’t a loud yelling type but she had the ability to make us stop annoying her with one stern sentence and her famous look because we knew what would happen if we didn’t, lol. Point being never underestimate the power of a mom regardless of size.

Q: What is it that the children really want, but won’t want when they get it?

A: A paddle…

Now THAT’S a command voice…..

What do they want with an oar,anyway??

Question…why is WREN fighting? Or does she just want it so that her siblings will stop fighting?

This is so funny! No, really!

In real life, though, it is all about preparation, and you know—parenting. We took our kids with us everywhere. Beforehand, we’d tell them where we were going and what the occasion was about and how to greet people, and what their house might look like, and not to touch anything, etc. It all started with our parents. They never had to “child proof” their homes because our kids were coming. My mother did that with us. I just don’t understand how people let their kids run wild in restaurants or in stores, not to mention wild and noisy crying in church or at a church wedding. It’s just disgusting.

It still annoys me to think of the times people with normal children gave me “advice” on how to raise my two autistic boys. Their superior attitude was most inappropriate and insulting.

They just got there and Hammie and Zoe are already acting up. Who besides me think this visit is going to be a disaster?

Every now and then my beloved cuts loose with her “teacher voice.”

Everyone in earshot of any age sits up and behaves.

Haha! XD

I wonder sometimes if Wanda has theater training given how well she can project her voice
