Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for May 24, 2012
Transcript:
Cathy:...Whew! I can't stand for my mother to think she's right! Woman: Why? Cathy: Because then she'll win. Woman: Win what? Cathy: She'll win the mother-daughter contest. Woman: What contest? Cathy: The contest of willis! The ego playoffs! The bizarre sport of creating conflict out of complete agreement!! Woman: You're kidding. That's so juvenile. Cathy: I hate it when my friends grow up.

Masterpiece! Co-worker trumped Cathy’s kvetch with a not-a-kvetch reply.

And I hate it when my kids grow up. It’s the last day of school… wahhhh! We’ll have fun this summer, but this is another milestone that is going by too fast. I know these are the times that go by too quickly, and I’m trying to enjoy them as much as I can, but it still makes me sad. My little ones are turning into big ones! :’-( ♥♥Good morning, Susan and Aaron!Hello to GsMom, Billy, rgcviper, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, gmforde, soonergal, lippyfish and all the other Cathy nuts rolling around here today!

Cathy and juvenile. Yup, works for me. An EEG of her brain must be like a severe thunderstorm.
Morning Susan and lightenup. LMB and I are about to race each other to bed. Ready, set, GO!. LOL he already won. :-D

Thanks for the memories! I had forgotten what Cathy looked like way back then. Good afternoon fellow Cathyites. I suspect some of you were not even born when this strip was originally printed. Must admit, I don’t remember this particular storyline but I do remember the look of the strip.

Cathy, don’t you know mothers are always right! And as lightenup said, they never let you forget it!

Your image was gone by the time I got here tonight. Can you re-post it? Thanks!

I wouldn’t worry about it too much if I were you, Cathy. I’m sure you’ve still got at least ONE friend in your life who’s as nutty, weird and immature as you are! And if you don’t — and you don’t like being “left behind” — then maybe it’s about time you thought about growing up too!
Aaron: Don’t worry about it, sweetie. You didn’t hurt my feelings. Anyone who works as long and as hard as you do can’t be expected to remember everything when you’re so tired all you want to do is go to bed and get some much-needed sleep! I know you were thinking about me all the same . . . just as I do you! ;-)
Good evening, lightenup, K.F.G., Susan, lindz.coop, rgcviper, gmforde, hendelca, Violet, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, soonergal, Gator007, legaleagle48, nighthawks, MaiTai (Maia) and all the REST of the “Cathy” nuts joining us here tonight. As always, good to “see” you all. Hey! Tomorrow’s Friday . . . the last day before the weekend!

I love friends who tell it like it is. Sorry Cathy, you’re being a looney tune.
Aaron rarely forgets. More like a delayed rememberance :-D Goodnight fellow Cathyites. LMB is waiting for the same thing he did with Aaron this morning — okay LMB . . . Done! LOL too funny.

Cue the eye-roll yet again …
If this comic got awards for inspiring eye-rolls, it’d have a trophy case the size of Canada.
And that’s just how I like it, too!

Hi Cathyites!!There are plenty of folks who practice this mentality with everyone they meet — not just their moms. Not good strategy. At least moms (usually) practice unconditional love, so you get away with it there — not once you are out in the world. I often find myself asking people “why are you arguing, I (he/she/they) agree with you.”
