For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 14, 2011

Time flies.

Kids say the darnest things.

Don’t worry, the more that go by the faster they go.

“are we there yet?”

is Christmas over yet?

This is one of the few comics that I would call warm hearted and sincere with sometimes very touching and emotional.

I still love the way Elizabeth clutches her long-eared bunny doll.

Time did go slow when we where young…now it’s like a super sonic train!

Time does go faster when you get older!

I’m not growed up yet Lizzie, so no worries. Seriously, would a grown man have Snoopy hugging Woodstock decked out for Christmas be a growed up?

Actually, Elizabeth, you’ll always be a little girl to your parents. My 6 year old tells me, while holding my face in her little hands, “I have to grow big, Mommy, but I’ll always be your little girl.” Sniff…

Why did the guy toss his clock out the window? Cuz he wanted to see time fly.

Your a big help Mike ??

…toddlers are so impatient. :)

I want her for another sister…

Just eleven more days Michael and Lizzie.

Lizzie is SO adorable, and you’re all so right about time going by faster as we get older. My 93 year old Mother still call me her little girl (now 61). I feel the same about my grown kids too. They will always be my babies I guess.

I remember being Lizzie’s age and how it took absolutely forever for Christmas to get here! But the older I get, the more I understand why my parents always seemed to dread it so much. It’s fun for the kids but it can be a real hassle for all the “growed ups”!

Blame it on Einstein and his kooky relativity theory. Anticipation of an event dilates the time/space continuum so that the more you want something to occur the longer it takes, and the more you wish to extend the time differential the sooner the event arrives. Simple physics. Hey, beertender… one more when you get a chance? …
