It is as small ask Wallace. Perhaps a better approach to this negotiation would be to start with a big ask such as trampolines, fireworks, and large charismatic megafauna. When they balk, suggest a compromise of just trampolines and fireworks.
When I was in jr high(1964-67) we had a gymnastic unit-parallel bars/horse/balance beam, tumbling and a trampoline on which you were expected to do flips-hated it. Expect insurance doesn’t allow any of those activities today. Many insurance companies will cancel your home insurance if they find out you have a trampoline.

At the same time and interchangeably. What a blast!

I don’t think fireworks ever belonged indoors, Wallace. Trampolines, on the other hand, no comment.

When Wallace forms his own company, I want to join. Just for the meetings.

Great expression on Seagull’s face in panel 3.

What’s an assembly with no chance of getting dis-assembled..?

I’ve asked myself that question many a time. Still no definitive answer.

Of course, trampolines are not a good toy for kids or adults. Ask anyone who works at an ER.

Wallace needs to get Amelia elected student rep to the school board.

I wonder if it would help if Congress would take his advice… I mean start each session with fireworks and trampolines. Couldn’t hurt, right?

Admittedly, that would help make school assemblies actually worthwhile to attend.

Maybe the school assembly room has low ceilings? A recipe for disaster?

Dad’s playing the non-committal diplomat here. Seems to show some empathy.
