Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for January 08, 2024

Wanda with that bunch you need to spell out exactly what you want.

If you stick the bowls in the freezer, you can reuse them the next time you eat ice cream.

at least the kid’s listened to you

To quote Jon Arbuckle, have you ever seen anyone work so hard at being so lazy?

You won’t be good parents you three if you don’t listen to her.

Hammie, how clever! But, she found you out anyway!

Teamwork.

Ha!

In Panel #2, Zoe is depicted as being the size of a typical 3 year old.

If they at least make it to the sink, you’ve made progress. Getting them to run some water in them would be a major accomplishment.

“You KNOW you’re supposed to lick them clean!”

Way more work, way more fun.

Mom is about to adjust some attitudes, starting with dishes and ending with no more ice cream.

Rinse your bowls out and put them in the dishwasher, kids!

Hide-and-Seek!

Teamwork rocks.

Oh dear, when she said “when I come back …” I thought she was referring to the after life! (if that is where comic characters end up).

They appear to suffer from the medical term of being smart Alec’s.

IJBOL!…

The devil is in the details Wanda and you provided no details.

You kids are un-bowl-leave-able!

NOW they co=operate with each other….

There was a huge crash from elsewhere in the house. We went to check and a bunch of shelves that had fallen. My young son was standing just outside of the room looking scared.

“Were you in here when it fell?” we asked our son.

“I was standing right here when it hit.”

The way he worded it made me wonder. “Where were you when it started to fall?”

He pointed to the top of where the shelf used to be. He would not lie but he would not volunteer any information not absolutely requested.

Well, technically……..

Wanda didn’t shout until she finished laughing

Kids, like cats and computers, are devotees of the Demon of Perversity.

After all this time Wanda still hasn’t learned you have to be precise with those three.

Well, technically, they listened to her …

Good one.

My wife puts bowls, with soap in them, like they’re going to clean themselves. But I end up washing them.
