If he hasn’t forgotten then why does he ask what all the stuff is? Wise acre for sure. Children should neither be seen nor heard. To atone for the twerps double transgression maybe painting the garage isn’t to harsh a punishment.
The other day, I discovered a tiny dress in the back of my closet. My daughter, Katie, had worn it in the Lynn Lake United Church Easter parade, and I still had it! There was a matching bag and hat. I showed them to Kate and said, “Can you remember being this small?” Having a three year old now herself, made the dress and accessories even more interesting. I’m hoping she keeps some of her children’s favourite clothes because photographs can’t show the actual size the child was. Holding the small dress was like touching my little Katie again! Sorry, I won’t apologize for being sentimental. That’s what moms do!
TheNeedle: “Seen but not heard” is an expression going back over a century to middle and upper class salons in which people would gather to converse and particularly hear guests with something to contribute. Recognizing that children could learn from these events, but not contribute to the conversation, it was to encourage letting them be present but not participate.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could stick to commenting on the comic strip rather than each other’s posts?

Then your fortunate for my own mom she only talks of her past when a kid. Not too much when my sibling and I grew up.
