    When our kids were sick like this we kept a large plastic pail by the bed. It saved a lot of extra laundry.

    The plastic trash can next to the bed served me well, even into my teen years when it was beer induced.

    I couldn’t figure out what he was trying to say. Good thing Mom knew. My sister could have used the plastic trash can for sure. She had a real weak stomach.

    Nothing funnier than kids throwing up. Unless it’s sleep deprivation.

    Many’s the night we spent doing just this, complete with our barf bucket, the temperature taking and, yes, both parents staying up. We figured if one of us didn’t sleep, neither of us did even though one of us just hung out (because it really is just a one-parent job).

    From Monty Python:

    “Skip to the loo my darling.” (Ha! Classic!)

    bandz said, (yesterday) “Reminds me of 5 year old Sean who listened in church to the story of how God created Adam and then, because Adam was lonely, created Eve from one of Adam’s ribs to be his wife. Sean wakes up the next morning complaining to his mother that he doesn’t feel well. Ma asks him to be more specific and Sean says, “I’ve got a pain in my side. I think I’m gonna have a wife.””

    I do think the story is amusing. I differentiate between lonely and alone, however. “…it is not good that the man should be alone…” God in his omniscience, anticipated that Adam would be lonely without a “help meet for him”. He was not yet discontented or dissatisfied because the fall of man into sin had not yet occurred. The Garden of Eden was still Paradise. Eve was beguiled by the serpent (Satan, the devil) and ate of the forbidden fruit, and gave unto Adam, and he did eat (Gen. 3). Since then, woman has been a pain in man’s side. Actually, it goes both ways. It’s mutual “badmiration”.

    Jocko84 you’ve obviously never had a sick child! It’s not at all funny to see your child in pain. And when they have chicken pox, your heart breaks for them!

    You lingered too long both times, Mom!. There’s no time for a reaction or a reprimand. Just say “Run! Run! (to the toilet)”

    Is it just happenstance that this comes around at the point in time when the H1N1 is having a go again? Or are the powers that be just pulling these old strips out of mothballs when history repeats itself…

    you are right Paul M, and the moon landing WAS faked, and the mafia DID kill JFK and 911 was an inside job, and the sky is falling and they are ALL OUT TO GET US!

    My point exactly: not funny.

    Jocko forgot to put on his irony face. (~;{

    About whether this strip is funny (having to do with a sick child as it does):

    There are those who could find something funny in a famine, and there are those who could not.

    Sometimes I wonder why I had to be blessed (and/or cursed) to be one of the former.

    Thank goodness for the plastic grocery bags. We have a wastebasket in every room and a bag in each. They definitely make things alot more sanitary when someone is throwing up alot. It seems like everytime my grand- daughter has a cold for about 12-24 hours we’re on barf alert. She’s not quite 3 years old yet so I’m hoping it’s something she’ll only do occasionally like the rest of us as she matures.

    I was SO glad when my youngest (who barfed the most often) got old enough to learn to grab a bucket, trash can, or something to catch it before it was too late. I really hate cleaning up barf, as I have a weak stomach myself.

    It’s really funny how seriously some of you take comic strips. It would do many of you a service to finally realize that Calvin is not a real boy, and his mom and dad aren’t real either.

    When I was a kid, my parents taught me the difference between reality and fantasy. What ever happened to that lesson?

    @Hosfac, a well-told story, or well-executed comic, engages us as if it were real–as Calvin and Hobbes certainly does.

    Even in re-runs.
