Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 15, 2022

She has 6 years of experience in knowing what to expect.

Of course Calvin noticed. He’s always behind something.

Splish splash, I was taking a bath

Long about a Saturday night

With that saw hidden behind his back I see bad things arising.

That looks like the kind of saw magicians use to cut people in half. Susie comes to mind

Oh it’s nothing ….. ( Moms mind RED ALERT RED ALERT )

Mom knows the “old saw”, “It’s always something.”

Every mom has had many baths interrupted.

Thinking back, I cannot recall a time when my mom took an actual bath. They HAD a bathtub, but only my dad used it for soaking… and then only when his back was acting bad. While we were parenting, our house didn’t even HAVE a tub for bathing. Shower only. We did have a jacuzzi tub…

the mom alarm went off…

Mum SAW that coming…….

Splish splash, she was taking a bath…

“No Calvin, the correct grammatical phrasing is ‘I have seen the little girl next door’, not ‘I have sawn’.”

Mom is really skinny. She must have tasted her own cooking (especially the monkey heads)!!

Instinct is a strong motivator. Moms have it by the ton.

Dayum…

You just had to alert her, didn’t you, Calvin?

Hey, where’s the trust? Don’t you love me? (Another line that should only work once)

This kind of reminds me of a story my mother always told. Apparently, after having discovered that I removed the bottom pin of all the door hinges in the house (I couldn’t reach the top pins), she walked in on me, as I was about to saw the legs off of the coffee table. My toy tool set went away forever. ;-)

Mom knows Calvin all too well.

Will all that water extinguish the fire in her eyes?

No.

Mom knows better when “Nothing” involves Calvin.

Trouble when he is making noise, more trouble when there is no noise.

Would Calvin be considered cute/humorous if he was drawn to proper scale of an average 6 year old, about 4’ tall instead of 2’?

“But mom, dad said I could…”

There’s not enough Calgon in the world to take her away…

“Are dining table legs expensive?”

HI there im new

I didn’t know Calvin’s mom was Rosanne Rosanadana.

Mom’s ALWAYS know when you are up to something.

What kind of parents leave sharp tools and utensils within reach of a 6-year old??

Anyone who thinks nothing is no big deal has never tried to divide by zero.

Splish, splash, she was taking a bath …

Where is the trust?
