Snowing in Tulsa? Unlikely (I have a friend who lives in nearby Broken Arrow, OK).

A hilarious story arc

He’s actually telling the truth, as you can see in the last panel. Too bad everyone thinks that he’s crying wolf.

In Sunny’s case, was this before she and the family took the trip to Hawaii?

“Embellished” instead of “lied.” Good take on Santos.

It’s not an embellishment if it’s completely true.

No wonder she prefers Kenny.

Prevaricate and equivocate are synonyms.

Homework teaches all the wrong things: that work life balance isn’t important, that you’ll be punished if you don’t have a quiet and stable home with a parent capable of helping you, and a whole lot of other bad things. Math is the worst…I got advanced degrees and still had no idea what some of the stuff my kids brought home in elementary and middle school meant. And the average of not turning in a paper (a zero) and turning in a perfect paper (a 100) was a 50, which is an F. Turning in an F paper was a 50, averaged with a perfect paper was a 75, a C.

One advantage of telling the truth is that you don’t have to keep track of which lies you told to whom…
