For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for February 27, 2023

ooh, that’ll be fun, won’t it?

So does this mean that older people lie awake and can’t get a full night’s sleep? Just like the young kid who is thinking about hanging around school while laying awake in bed?

Ah, memories.

Maybe some pillow talk…

Never ask just smack him with it

Ohhh Elizabeth have you gotta lot to learn

One thing my daughters appreciate is that I have vivid memories of when I was their ages & will share with them. I also acknowledge that times ARE different from when I was their age.

oh, is that what they call it?

that look says it all. :J

The last pillow fight ended up being April.

That’s the best she can come up with!?

I never ask my wife for a pillow fight, you just do it.

Yeah, “pillow fight”…

I remember being young, and I still feel fairly young on the inside.

If Elly was born in 1979, then it was impossible for her to be a hippie in the 1960s, as one strip talked about.

Guess I’ll be adding that one to the list of euphemisms…

Ever since I was in my 20s, I always said that you’re only as old as you feel. That’s why at 64, I look and feel great!

Pillow fight….her code word for sex!

Elle, one never asks if one wants to have a pillow fight, one just starts a pillow fight spontaneously and lets things progress from there.

I have never met an “adult” who, in their heart of hearts, didn’t feel like they were just faking the whole “grown up” thing.

Funny.

Pillow fight… better than fighting over the blanket.

The family bosses know how to stay healthy at this age. A pillow fight would be great in tiring oneself to shoo away insomnia setting at this age. The young girl will learn this in due course.

All my friends and classmates are now in our late 50s and 60s. We remember our childhood like it was yesterday.

I don’t think that’s what John had in mind….lol

Love the look on John’s face in panel 4. It’s like it reads, “Pillow fight? Oh yeah, it’s on”

“Hangin’ round”. LOL. Yeah, this writing really is….something.

One of the truly good experiences in life for one of a certain mature age, that moment when you awaken to a sense that it was a good night’s sleep.

wrestle instead- – - -

Sure, as long as it ends with a complete surrender.

Okaaaaaaaay…….

The only strip where that happened had a far different meaning than what everyone is suggesting:

Elly gets up the middle of the night. A pair of “cartoon eyes” is seen moving in the dark

SPLOOMP!

Elly: ????

SPLIP, SPLIP, SPLIP

Elly turns on light, then hits John with a pillow

John{groggily}: “Don’t tell me, I left both toilet seats up again.”

Elly frowns as it is shown her nightgown is drenched
