People used to farm. Kids used to work. Now they don’t even bother to study. But Brutus gets the smile of the day award. Don’t tell Brutus he’ll be working anyway.
There’s a funny ad playing on Dutch tv, for Albert Hein. The kids ask what they’re gonna do all summer. The parents take them to every kind of summer activity you can think of, even free-falling in the chamber with the big fan. Finally one kid says to his sister, “In a couple of days we get to go back to school!”
School may help Gladys with the kids, but I am sure Brutus’ work schedule pretty much corresponds to the school schedule so there will be little relief there. Of course there is always homework.

What if they wanna do what you do instead and go to work for money? I remember having arguments with my brother when we played Atari.

You better wipe that smile off your face before Wilberforce sees you.

Brutus is ready for Wilberforce and friends to go back to school and cease monopolizing the tv in order to play video games.

That’s the light at the end of the tunnel for Gladass, but Brutus is at work when the kids are in school. He doesn’t get “home time” without them.

Count your blessings Brutus. As annoying as they are on weekends, my guess is they aren’t as bad as His Rancidness is 5 days a week. At least.

Brutus’ smile couldn’t be any broader if Gladys had told him that her mother was moving across the country.
