Pickles by Brian Crane for July 30, 2016

Time for Earl to start wearing a hat while indoors.

I’m a little suspicious, also! Opal is enjoying this new hobby of hers a bit too much.Notice that Roscoe disappears at the first swat. We used to have a little dog that ran off when she saw us reach for the fly swatter. She never knew when one of us would go berserk and start flaiing the walls and table for no good reason.

then Opal’ll be asking why he’s wearing a hat indoors and to take the hat off no matter what

James 1:19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,.(But Earl may be pushing it.)

Laughed out loud.

Earl must have done something really bad like leaving the toilet lid up.

Sometimes I’m sorry that I’m single…I’d so love to have someone to pick on…

@ Calamity JaneI rest my case.

Better a swat on the head a few times a week to get out her annoyances and frustrations than to have it build up and find a pillow over your face one morning.

My friend’s mother had dementia and, while riding together in the front seat of a pickup truck, she thought a freckle on my leg, just above the knee, was a bug, She repeatedly tried to brush it off my leg on the journey. I finally had to cover up my leg with a towel that was in the truck. She was a nice lady.

And if Earl did that to Opal he would be charged with domestic violence. Got to love Brian Crane’s double standards.

@magicwalnut, it is fun to have someone to pick on. As long as you know the limits though and don’t go too far. It’s a fine line between teasing and hurting.

“No, it’s a bruise from your other swats. Stop it!”

Now that you mention it, Earl. I think we all are.
