Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for January 20, 2025

Lack of accountable?

At least it’s an honest answer

As a single dad I quickly learned not to ask questions, as Papi does here, that don’t give the answer you want. What Papi and I wanted for an answer is, “I’ll get started now.” See how the answer we want and the real, honest, answer we received differ?

I don’t know why not. I think he’s behaving very predictably.

At least he’s being honest, G.

Baldo is getting more and more out of hand.

The truth shall set you free… after it gets you raked over the coals.

At least Baldo was honest.

When I was in elementary school my parents went to a PTA meeting. When they came home my mom asked me about my homework. Apparently the other parents were complaining about how long the homework took their children to do it. I rarely had homework and it was finished quickly – mom asked how that could be. “I do it on the school bus coming home.”

I am still like that. I currently have to take 30 hours of online classes and exams to be allowed to prepare income tax returns as I don’t have professional license. The main exam takes 3 hours. Husband will leave me alone in our home office for me to take the classes/exams. He is always amazed at how quickly I get the exams done – how? I don’t read the texts – just take the exams. If I am not sure I look up the info in the the text online. I have 4 tax clients – all with extremely simple and repeating (year to year) income and over 90% of what is in the texts have no relation to my clients or their income and tax return.

At least he is being honest!
