For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 09, 2023

Learning moment for April coming up quick.

Karma for all the times she bugged Michael.

Isn’t that kid old enough to pronounce “Elizabeth” correctly??

Yeah, “homework”..

Differing definitions abound.

You’ll have to get your mom to keep her out of the room when Anthony is there.

Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas sure nailed it with their classic song, Little Children.

April is still too young to understand the meaning of ’subtle hints"….LOL

April doesn’t understand not be bugged, huh?

That’s right let’s keep sex in the home where it belongs, right in front of the little ones.

Even a “fly on the wall” is a pest, if you know it’s there.

Typical little sister.

The best chaperone – a 3-year old.

My first thought of that term was being associated with wiretapping, such as “Do not talk. The room may be bugged!”

I was thinking that Livabeff didn’t want parental interference; didn’t think of Aypo.

I once went to visit my girlfriend after a few months away at college. Her little brother insisted on staying in the room. Years later, I figured oout that I should have said, “Joey, I’ll pa you a dollar to go play in your room for an hour.”

It really bugs me how April talks like a baby in this comic, including “Apo”, and “Livabeff”. Glad others think it’s cute. However, when some of my students can’t pronounce words like “work” correctly, and instead say “woke”, I do find it endearing and really cute even if they’re already 10 years old.
