For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 04, 2021

you’re quite the influence of “normal”, older brother Michael

I suspect Elly’s look of horror in the final panel is from realizing her 12-year-old daughter has decided that “normal” means “not learning” and “not wanting to try something new.” Kind of explains those bad grades, doesn’t it?

April is what, about 16 months old? Is that a major landmark (what’s the expression) that she can take off her own socks. It looks like Liz never bothered putting April’s socks back on her!

please don’t, she’s growing too fast as she is.

At least St. Michael is reading a book, not rotting his brain watching TV or playing video games… But then again, depends on what he reads too I guess :-/

She’s already normal.

we don’t WANT her to take off her socks, but she keeps doing it!

Hope not like big brother.

Normal is just a setting on a washing machine.

Since Elly said to Phil she is not ready to stop being a child, sure hope she remembers that the next time she screams at her kids to “grow up”.

Last Frame a killer LoL
