Miss Bliss, confinscate that thing and put Alice in a time-out!

Not today! You must kick her out and ban her from ever going to school again,Lock Mom & Dad up for life,take their home and every thing they have,make sure everyone knows just how bad she is. Then really get ugly with her.Life in todays USA.

but Alice didn’t get a sword in edge-wise !!!!!

Panel 2 is great, with Alice charging into the fray like a knight on horseback, full of self-righteous fury! Be gentle, Miss Bliss!

Sort of like Don Quixote.

Forget the shirt-did she also make a hole in Beni or Dill?

Poor kid. Our class had a kid who brought a grenade to show and tell. A deactivated grenade, but still a grenade. No one said boo about it.

My oldest granddaughter, “Esmerelda,” who’s otherwise brilliant (was reading at the age of three blah blah blah), was nine years old and in her first year of middle school (5th grade) when she took a Swiss army knife onto the school bus and passed it around! Then she laughed and acted all jokey when confronted by the principal. Luckily, my daughter convinced the principal that Esmerelda had engaged in nervous laughter and was actually devastated. The police were not notified, and Esmerelda spent a day or two in in-school suspension. Whew!

This happened about five years ago.

I love Alice scooting in her chair. Brilliant!!
