Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for March 25, 2023

You like your baby sister even more now Hammie.

Wren is not afraid of anything.

Wʀᴇɴ: Challenge ACCEPTED!

Wren got her protein intake, thanks to Hammie.

I sure hope he washed his hands before feeding Wren.

now it’ll “wriggle and jiggle and tickle inside her”

Well, Hammie, your baby sister is a….baby. They don’t yet know spiders are…ew. Or scary. Or poisonous. Apparently she thinks they are edible.

I wonder how Zoe reacted?!!

My younger daughter has been our designated spider-catcher (we don’t kill them; we just put them outside) for years. I’ve watched her actually talk a spider into walking into our “spider box” to be put outside!

Our daughter tried to eat a dead bumble bee, a fact we never fail to remind her 35 year-old self.

For another perspective on Babies and Spiders and Slurping …

She could start training for the next Billie Eilish video.

Love Wren’s no-thought lick it up response. Must be protein short in her diet.

Sexist.

Don’t tell Mom.

Big spiders, tiny spiders and sizes in between, I don’t like any of them. I’m not afraid of them, I just don’t like them, especially in the house or my little workshop.

You rock, Wren!

Oh good God yes ….

Toddlers will eat almost anything.

And don’t forget women Darryl.

Baby bumble bee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5pyXANcsns … But they changed the ending from what we taught our kids… I’m licking up a baby bumble bee…

I think Wren is going to become the CEO of a major corporation. Nothing is going to stop her.

Forget about arachnophobia, spiders have Wrenophobia.

Learn it early, kid, and never forget it.

With the female version of humanity anything is possible, in combinations unimaginable. That’s one of the reasons I still find them fascinating and wonderful, and I’m in my 70s. I don’t think I ever thought anything else either. Even as a young boy I never thought girls were “icky”, just pretty. I will Not, however, claim to understand them even after being married to one for more than 40 years, helping raise a couple, and having many female friends/coworkers and for a while what I realized later would have counted as an “office spouse”. That’s Okay! Just accept and enjoy. And Never hurt one if you can help it. Even if she’s done something really bad, just walk away.

OMG! No Wren! ∑(゜Д゜;)

Meanwhile, as I babysit a two year old girl…Tot: sees black lint on the floor Spider! * sobs *Me: No, it’s not a spider. It’s just a fuzzy.* picks it up to show her *Tot:* shrieks and sobs louder * SPIDER!!!
