For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 01, 2022

No, Aypo, Mum’s voice ain’t unda the bed.

I used to get that back in high school, always just before choir auditions!

Mike needs a helper for his hamburger helper……

Wait till dad comes home. Or Liz could probably make it. It’s not hard. I haven’t had HH in years. It’s too salty!

Great sound effects.

She’s taken up ventriloquism

Won’t be yelling for awhile

But April, do you know what her voice looks like when do see it?

Elly should have taken April to the doctor’s if all this was going to happen

As any 2 and a half to 3-year-old knows, when you lose something it most likely is hidden under the bed! Apparently why do big teenagers like Michael have forgotten that!

Mike should learn the basics of cooking, like reading the directions.

Elly lost her voice? ……… GOD BE PRAISED!!!

PIZZA!!!

Reminds me of when my sister came to visit. My son was maybe 3 1/2. We had been out the night before and when my sister woke up, she had laryngitis. She was whispering to my son telling him she had lost her voice. Very seriously, my son asked, “Do you know where you put it last?” This, of course, was the question we would ask him when he couldn’t find a toy, so it was sound reasoning to him. (No pun intended)

Nice one, kid! You broke your mom with your inability to understand simple instructions!

“It’s got to be here someplace.” After all, she just had it. It couldn’t have gone far.

Hurry April. She lost her voice, check around the house and see if you can find it.

Then it could be where April finds Elly’s voice…

April: “I told you kids to pick up your clothes. And who left the wet towels on the bathroom floor? I swear, sometimes I feel like just going on strike. What would you all do if I went on strike, huh? What would you do? Answer me! I am talking to you! You know what, that is what I am going to do. I will go on strike and you can all try living without me. How you going to handle that, huh, huh….”

April to the rescue, if anyone can find mommies voice it will be April.

A high school student should be able to read…maybe.

Poor Mom, and helpless Mike.

Basic modern survival skills: Reading and following package directions.

April: “Wha’ do a voice ’ook ’ike?”

The boy’s not very bright, is he.

If you like to eat, you need to learn to cook. That simple.

Anybody know Morse Code?

It’s always in the last place you look, too.

Teenagers can scan, read the syntaxes and do parallel activities while riding a 2 wheeler. But find it diffilcutk to follow the instructions on the pack.

April trying to find mama’s voice.

So the kids old enough to drive, old enough to date, old enough to babysit, old enough to have a part time job, but too stupid to make dinner? Is that a Canook problem or just a tired Meme?

Mom and Dad failed to teach these two teens basic skills since they were old enough to walk. I have video of a friend’s 2YO doing simple things in the kitchen with Mom.

Aww, look how cute April is; looking for Mom’s voice under the bed.

She looks worse than she could have because she has her tongue stuck out during her cough fits. Gross. Ever heard of coughing into your arm or behind your hand, Elly? Then use the hand sanitizer on your hands. Yeah, I know this was drawn 30 years before COVID but there were waterless hand sanitizers back then. Now that masks are almost mainstream, I am seeing people put on masks when they are having a cold, coughing or sneezing. It’s flu season now so I am seeing more masks on now. Both sick people and people trying to protect themselves from getting sick. So masks seem to be viewed as handy now rather than a social taboo.

April is just so darned cute!!!❤️
