One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for October 24, 2023

This isn’t a negotiation kids.

Mom’s final offer, you get Calvin’s babysitter

Better get takeout.

Just leave them with the grandparents and go by yourselves!

Well, here’s my counter-COUNTER offer! Be yourself just once, JUST once and you won’t be allowed to leave the house ever again! UNDERSTAND?

It doesn’t hurt to make the children behave when out in public. The other diners will appreciate it.

Let me counter that with an offer to make it so you can still sit down.

“OK, kids, let me call in my Negotiator. Ninja Kitty!” ☺

Make am offer when sitting by the kitchen sink. Then it will be a counter offer.

I notice adults in restaurants talk louder after they have more alcohol. They also laugh more often and too loud. Very annoying to the sober diners.

Curious what their counter offer is?
