Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for November 14, 2018

oh, parents cannot think of things to occupy their time either?

What’s my line, anyway?

Tony asked, about 1 hour ago

Bored?

Yeah right.

Major maintenance on the heating system in every flat here on very short notice (less than a day).

Free access required. Now. From 7 am on the whole day.

Little sleep, waiting now.

Never. And if I was ever stupid enough to say that in my youth, my dad would give me something to do..

As I’ve said before, I don’t have time to be bored.

Bored….no, just waiting for a loud YAWN!!!

I don’t understand boredom.

A product of no imagination, or what?

There is always something to do…. including sometimes sitting and thinking, or doing nothing at all, and enjoying it.

Even my parents realised, by the time I was in grade school, that being sent to my room by myself was no punishment to me.

I’m not going to say I’ve never been frustrated by tedium…

but that means I had other things I wanted to be doing instead of the tedious task in front of me.

But bored…. no.

Boredom isn’t such a bad thing. I’d rather be bored than gored.

slow day at the inspiration desk

Crickets…

All good.

No, Elliot. Your line is “DAD, I’m bored.” Totally different.

Elliot to Dad: “Clean my room!”

Bored? Who can be bored with so many comics to read and so little time.

“…go clean your room.”
