   Calvin’s dad gets on everyone’s nerves. And since he doesn’t even have a name, nobody can even bawl him out.

   If the last sentence was 3 more syllables, it’d be a haiku!

   Let Hobbes write it. He probably remembers that Dad works in a patent office, and he’d give a more unbiased viewpoint on what Dad has to put up with in his lunatic son.

   Honesty isn’t always the best policy, especially if you’re six

   Also, Hobbes will give Calvin’s class a much more entertaining version of what a patent attorney does all day!

   I always wondered about homework exercises like that. What’s a 6 year old supposed to know about what his daddy does for a living?. What does he know about earning a living?

   If the paragraph was about “mom” then Hobbes could write a book on her. :P After all, Hobbes was her friend first. :)

    Of course he could ask his dad what he does, but he’s too lazy to do that. He may not even get the point for succinctness.

    Everydaylife is not so easy to master and to bear! To be together with someone and to part the life is an other thing as to see him a few times!

    I guess it is about getting the 6 year old to talk to Dad to gain a simple understanding of what Dad does, then express it in their own terms.

    That’s because tigers have such short memories. I’ll bet you don’t even remember our friendship before Mom.
