Luann Againn by Greg Evans for March 22, 2024

This sure isn’t the house I grew up in. I had to help my mother with the housework in spite of having 2 older brothers, they never had to do anything because they were male. They only had to take turns doing weekly jobs like taking out the trash, a 5-minute job and they had to be nagged to do it, or mowing the lawn which is seasonal, and only every other week since there were 2 of them. And I was expected to help them. My mother thought the dishes would revolt and break if male hands washed them. Luann is pretty lucky.

My father was not only an semi invalid but had the 19th century concept that children were slaves for the use of.

Luann: I should get paid for living here.

Frank: You do.

She’s lucky they don’t boot her lazy butt out when she turns 18.

I love this teasing family banter of the DeGroots.

Brad is legally old enough to get a paying job. I wonder how much help he was around the house before that?

You seem pretty chipper, Frank, for a man going to Hell.“For the love of money is the root of all evil…”—1 Timothy 6:10 21st Cent. KJV
