Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for January 09, 2024

Wanda you do give the babysitter hazardous duty pay right ?

She’s worried that the babysitter won’t come back.

Hammie probably has the babysitter begging for mercy about now!

Plenty of sitters have survived the kids, Wanda!

I don’t think any of their kids are as bad as Calvin, or Bart Simpson.

I know who’s gonna be awarded the worst mother.

Is the babysitter Bizzy, from the cartoon show?

Have ye little faith, Wanda!

I baby sat as a pre-teen and teen. Some kids were great to sit and others were little terrors. I never again baby sat the tiny terrors.

If Wanda is worried about the babysitter, she didn’t hire a strong enough one. As a teen, I did babysitting in my neighborhood. i had one young boy that was a terror. I figured out his tactics and interests and was able to engage him on his level. I was asked back several times to babysit him and his sister.

They found someone to stay with the kids, must be new to the neighborhood.

Will the sitter come back again? Will she double her rates? Will she (he?) talk bad about us to other potential sitters?

Too many smoke breaks.

Wanda speaks of “them”, implying her children, when she means “her” or “him” (the babysitter). The joke would have scanned better if she’d simply said “I wish I could relax and stop worrying.”(Yeah, I know. Picky, picky, picky.)

It’ll be okay, Wanda.

‘THEM’ is third person plural. How many baby sitters did THEY hire?

Don’t worry,Wanda—-the babysitter is tied up and safely locked in the hall closet; out of the line of fire

Unless it’s Calvin. Then you have to give them combat pay.

Some how I feel that I missed a day. Went from hiding ice cream bowls to the parents out on a date.

Good point Wanda.

It is good that Wanda recognizes who is actually in danger here.

The babysitter must be transitioning.

Call Calvin’s Mom, and have her set you up with Roselyn…
