Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for March 25, 2024

Been there and still there. Once awake, it is a matter of awake alllll night

And you don’t dare get behind or you’ll have to take a couple of days leave to catch up.

I’ve been retired 16 years. I still have nightmares that it’s the day of Parent-Teacher-Conferences, I have thirty stacks of assignments to grade, and I can’t find where I filed the report cards.

A rare breed these days.

This is the part I’d be saying, “That’s my girl! (choke)”

Why did the kids eat their homework?

Their teacher said it was a piece of cake.

What do you call it when there is nothing on your math homework?

No problem!

My pen ran out of ink and an ink fairy in the shape of a squid appeared. He said if I let him eat my dinner of shrimp he’d help me out by giving me some ink. The deal smelled kind of fishy, but I needed to finish my homework.

So we did it squid pro quo.

What does Adam Lambert say when you tell him you did your math homework in the snow?

“Don’t give a dam* about your cold calculation.”

Doing math homework, huh? I don’t understand why you use fractions instead of decimals.

It’s pointless.

It’s different when she has forty students’ homework.

Meemaw’s alter ego was in yesterday’s strip. Anyone know her name?

Is it 1910?

Sleep is better, but won’t get the job done. Next time drink that brown stuff in the cup before it gets cold / warm. (Had to put a space before / after the slash or the URL blocker wouldn’t let me post.)

I remember my Mom falling asleep at the dining room table occasionally.

So true…I was up until 2:00 am most nights when I was teaching.

In twenty years, it’s never been the “A” assignments that put me to sleep.
