Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 31, 2011
Transcript:
Mom: ALICE! What are you doing? Alice: Petey said I could play with it outside. Mom: It's an ornamental ceramic family heirloom moose! It isn't something you push around in the dirt! Alice: She did the same thing when I took the big vase out to my sandbox. Beni: Adults can be so grabby.

Have hammer, will travel (as long as I don’t have to cross the street). Alice looks disappointed, but Hammer-Beni is compassionate. Madeline is a tad upset. Being a four-year-old is tough!

Only when you play with stuff you shouldn’t be playing with, Benji. Now gimme that hammer. Gimme, gimme, gimme

A huge disappointment. Clearly, they’ll have to go on an expedition in search of things to hammer into oblivion. If I remember my childhood correctly, my brothers and I went on many such expeditions. If only Mom knew….

I thought the moose was made of resin. Oh, well.When she grows up she’ll probably do the same thing to her children. At a certain age she’ll understand what collectibles can mean to some people, and maybe even to herself. Nip it in the bud!
