I’m laughing way too hard at this! And it brings back wonderful memories of the 80’s when Michael Buffer was the ring announcer for all the high-profile boxing matches and coined that phrase. We always had the fight night parties at out house.
betcha this kind of conversation — the “pick up your LEGO” conversation — happened back in the Ole Kirk Christiansen household in Denmark when Ole first made LEGO
Actually, it’s Amelia you need to worry about. She’s racing to the house with her phone to record the Greatest Bout in History – the "Rumble in the whatever it is that isn’t “jumble” or “mumble”."
Anything you don’t pick up, I will pick up. Then you won’t get to play with it for several days. It will be put up out of your reach, but you will be able to see it as a reminder to pick up your toys. Little ones learn quicker than you think.
Reminds me of our parrot who used to yell ’that’s right!’ at the top of her lungs when we’d be fighting. Did. not. help! But was sometimes hilarious. Mostly when you weren’t the one fighting or yelling for some reason. She was a corker!
Mom sweeps up the legos in front of the kid, dumps legos into the trash bin, problem solved lesson learned. Teach your kids you mean what you say. Parents today are such snow flakes – they want to be friends, not parents.
Since childhood, I never had patience with the false politesse of those in power—as if they care what you desire. “Can you…” or “Do you want to…” sounds as if you have an option. Then there’s a tantrum if you decline. Especially annoying if they end a request with “OK?” and then make you do it whether it’s OK with you or not. And don’t get me started on “I need you to…” A kid ought to be free to say, “I need you to leave me alone and let me inconvenience you for awhile.”

A portent of things to come. I don’t think the Baby Alien yet realizes how strong willed mom is. He ain’t gonna win!

LOL! I’m surprised more kids don’t end up in large dog crates most days.

I could never, ever get my “Sterling” to do anything he didn’t want to do either. Battles galore.

How about making Sterling walk barefoot over all those legos?

Love the mom’s angry face in panel three.

$10 on the mother. Any takers?

Just started following this strip. What’s the deal with the comments on Sterling. He’s very interesting looking.
