For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for June 30, 2009

Come on one cookie won’t hurt just one that’s all I ask.

Elly, give Nizzie a shortbread cookie anyway.

Elly should have kept a packet of banana-flavoured biscuits for just such an occasion!

A little banana pudding and a vanilla wafer and Lizzie could have the ultimate yummy

Why’d ya have to make a pretty “flower” out of it Elly? She won’t want to eat a flower.

good try!

One graddaughter will not eat banana in any shape or form. She’s in her 20s now, still no to banana.

NotNormanChubsyUbsy, that’s what motherhood does to you. You try to get on their level, and then to normal people you appear retarded.

Good try though. Maybe the “flower” is just too pretty to eat.

what ever it takes, I feel for the mom Im in that stage right now will do anything to get my daughter to eat. Though Hannah loves banana’s

OK, Ellie put sugar sprinkles on the banana. Just give her the cookie!

You do not cut bananas into little circles for little kids. The bananas act like just the right shape to form a banana plug in the child’s throat. They are slippery. Cut them up a bit more to be on the safe side.

Nice try Mom. But it isn’t a cookie!

My mom would have still said no and that if I didn’t want to eat the banana, then I obviously wasn’t that hungry!

make banana and cookie sandwiches for nizze

So, your granddaughter is still single?

when did comics stop being JUST for entertainment where we have to critique parenting of the IMAGINARY characters?

yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas today!

howtheduck :

i always liked that strip

dakabn5 - Amen! You’d think half these people believe Elly and her kids are their relatives, and heaven help those relatives!
