For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 04, 2019

next time, Lizzie, DESCRIBE the pool of your friend’s relatives

The anticipation far exceeded the actual event!

Somehow those flippers turned from green in Panel 6 to orange in Panel 8

LIzzie, next time tell Dawn to be more specific about the pool.

“Not only that, the trampoline they said they had was only a couple of old mattress and box-spring in the back yard”.

As a parent it’s always a good idea to ask for specifics.

One of my neighbors was being pestered by her 13 y.o. son to have Mel over for a sleep over and camp out in their backyard.

She almost agreed to it until she learned that “Mel” was my daughter Melissa.

Details, details, details …

Poor Lizzie. Such excitement expecting something wonderful, then the letdown. We’ve all been there.

I love it.

And, Liz, do take care of your glasses! Don’t break them! Above all — don’t loose them (again)!

Dawn said her cousin has a pool. She didn’t say Dawn’s cousin’s family has a pool.

Over done again Mom at least you didn’t harp about the glasses.

It was like a political cartoon I had seen in 1991 after the end of the William Smith trial. The cartoon shows William Smith with his uncle, Ted Kennedy.

First panel

Ted Kennedy: “Well Willie, your acquittal calls for a drink!”

Second panel. Ted speaks to a soda jerk

Ted Kennedy: “Uh…Two strawberry milkshakes, please.”

Maybe they should … pool their resources?

Lynn your the best. I can assure you all your regular readers give you 10 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆’s we love your schrip
