This comic probably explains why the Pattersons are more likeable than the neighbour Connie and gets more screen time.
The Patterson’s dog Farley, has the freedom to wander and play all around the house, whereas her neighbour friend Connie keeps her dog penned up in a chicken coup cage like some kind of trapped zoo animal!
A programmer is sent to the store with these instructions, “Get a loaf of bread and if there are eggs, get a dozen”. He comes home with twelve loaves of bread.
I am guessing the tragedy will be happening soon since April is doing the first part of us getting Edgrr. I bawled like a baby even though I knew ahead of time what was going to happen. Lynn’s sister was a Veterinarian and she made the comment about Farley getting up there in age.
Elle, Elle, Elle, if we have told you once we have told you a thousand time, the devil is in the details. You have to tell Aprils she has to ask permission FROM CONNIE, first.
OK, Lynn, we get it. Children are stupid because they have no life experience and don’t think like adults. Now what’s happening with Michael’s dorm room?
Soooo April is in Connie’s yard. So did Ellie follow April out of the yard (per yesterday’s comic) and just….tell her to ask for permission to play with the dog, and NOT drag her back home because she’s not supposed to be outside the yard in the first place?

Well, Sera can’t give permission. She is a canine version of you, April. She has a mom so you gotta ask her mom.

Oh, Sera wants to play, all right—but with Farley, not April.

You weren’t specific enough Elly. You should’ve told her who to ask.

Children’s logic. All adults passed the stage of childhood, how come they forgot how they acted as a child?

Let her out, not nice keeping a dog(or any sentient animal) in a cage.

If you could put the kid in the cage with the dog, it might solve a few problems.

Kind of like a programmer joke I read recently.
A programmer is sent to the store with these instructions, “Get a loaf of bread and if there are eggs, get a dozen”. He comes home with twelve loaves of bread.

I don’t quite think that’s what Mommy had in mind, April.

now, tell April that the dogs owner needs to know first before you tell the dog.

It’s hard to fully appreciate how specific you need to be with kids this age.

April doesn’t quite get the concept of parental permission.

Yeah, kids are terrible at “chain of command”. That is until Karen starts getting bossy in kindergarden.

Have your pets spayed or neutered.

April Patterson. Born to be wild.

This is a recurring “joke”. The instructions given to April are not specific enough and she makes her own interpretation.

Is that a “yes” or “no?”

Growing up we never called adults by their first name. I would have to been told “Ask Mrs. Thomas beforehand”. :P
