Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for August 14, 2024

There are a lot of adults who’d leave the world a better place if they took a long walk off a short pier, but just being an obnoxious little boy doesn’t qualify. You’ll grow out of it, Hammie.

You could make a positive impact by becoming a politician like whatever politician you hate.

impacts typically leave dents or craters

so Ⅰ would generally regard impacts as negative

Once again, fish in a barrel.

Don’t worry, with your confidence and cleverness you show from time to time, you will be fine!

Zoe’s already practicing her ‘dating skills’.

And maybe moving back to the jungle you’ve came from!

Oh, she is going to be a Tibetan monk!

Sounds like she wants you to grow up hating women, Hammie. Brush her off as a bully and move on, there are amazing people out there of all genders.

There’s still lots of exploring to do, deep under the ocean, even some remote places on land, and next generation, the Moon, Mars and the asteroids.

I think he did that once and that didn’t seem to make any positive impact at all… :\

A snarky response is so Zoe. A response of “Start by buckling down in school and getting good grades would be a start.” would have been better.

They are both SO good with Wren!

Zoe be a teacher that be great impact. Not the money.

Zoe’s impact on the world would create a crater the size of the Milky Way.

I’m surprised she didn’t say CEO of multi billion dollar company.

“Impact” is one of those overused buzzwords I have grown to dislike. I work as an editor and every program, person, etc. that someone writes about is said to make an “impact” in one way or another.

“Challenge” is another overused word. “My biggest challenge…” is a phrase I often see.

“Humbled.” “I am humbled to receive this promotion…” To be humble is a good thing; to be humbled, not so much. Humbled can mean “lowered in condition, power, or dignity; abased.”

People need to broaden their vocabulary, learn new words and the correct use way to use them.

ba dum tss

ah, memories. sent this to my slightly older sister

Walked right into that one, didn’t you Hammie.

Some day maybe he will figure it out.

How can she positively impact the world yet fail to be kind to her own brother?

Score one for Zoe.
