Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for August 13, 2024

Wisdom? Who is this kid and what have the done to the real Hammie?

You would be in good company Hammie!

then go with your gut

I can relate. I definitely wish I’d listened to my brain more often.

I don’t anybody that young should be worrying about what they want to do when they’re adults…

Have you considered becoming a cartoonist?

Follow your knees, then.

too bad he can’t follow his ears – he’d have one helluva advantage

Did Wanda follow her heart in marrying Darryl?

Like father, like son?

Sure Hammie can count on his mom to find him a wife if it comes to that.

If it is, Hammie, you should go into politics.

Worst advice ever, but Hammie’s response is the beginning of wisdom.

Mom is a wise lady.

Hammie, you have time to figure it out. Until then just remember, never sweat the petty things and never pet the sweaty things.

At age 6-7 not to worry as your mind will change many times. There’s kids in college that still don’t know what they want to be and spending a lot of money in the process.

I don’t know how many can say this, but I know the exact incident that helped me decide. I was looking though our Library for something to read and I came upon a textbook my Dad had used for a College Class his work sent him to. It was called “Introduction to Data Processing”. I was fascinated by it and, when it came time to select a Career Course in College, I chose Computer Science. That afternoon book browse changed my life in a major way…

Got plenty of time to figure that out kid. Just have fun while you are young…..

Top 5 kid aspirations : Fireman, Policeman, Doctor, Veterinarian or Ballerina

Hammie just enjoy being a child.

“We already know that your heart’s an idiot, son.”

But the heart is deceitful above all else. Who can know it?

Hammie, banish that thought!

You are way too young to know that word about your heart…

Better go with your gut then, and enjoy your childhood while you have one.

Well maybe in that case you shouldn’t follow your heart.

Prov. 4:23.

Trust your heart. Let fate decide.

I’m in my 60’s and I still haven’t figured out what I want to be when I grow up! In the mean time, there’s a park down the street and I find myself enjoying the slide periodically. I wait in line for my turn,

Clever kid.

So young. So self-aware.

definitely a re-run.I remember this one vividly

It never really works the way you plan it. So just enjoy the ride.
