For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for November 09, 2012

what’s up with his arm in the last panel?

Been there, done that.

Don’t be alarmed folks, it’s merely sometimers disease.

Just when you’re sure you have the answers, you forget the question. True in school and true in life.

You should have slouched down and tried to hide. Works best with a " I don’t have the faintest face."

Having been homeschooled myself, the answer is usually no. I was one-on-one with a tutor, so there was much more face time and questions and answers were done far faster.

This so reminds me of an episode in high school.The nun asked me a question and i wasn`t paying attention.She repeated the question to me and w/o thinking i said " I don`t know the freaking answer." Except "freaking " wasn`t what i said.Got 2 months of detentions for that one word plus other terrible tortures.

On any test, what you know doesn’t count,Its all about do you know the answer to the specific question being asked.

Re yesterday’s strip:My sister was chewing gum in class, and teacher noticed.“Carol, are you chewing gum?”(gulp) “No, Maam!”

Well…that’s a short attention span. LOL

Yes, and ours developed a leak, and it was a mess!
