Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for December 19, 2012

Wait. I thought the Parisian trip was going to be happening DURING Christmas.

Better than wasted on a young ingrate.

Hey, kid!You will never know!

Having done the Paris thing as a part of a married couple, Wally is doing it right in leaving the kids behind. Our two young ones came along, so in addition to needing to be with the tour we were kind of crimped when it came to any “additional activities”.

Nice to see ‘Val’ and ‘Mom’ got out of that ‘sticky wicket’ with Joan. Although, the look on ’Joan’s’ face in the last panel yesterday, looks like she knew ’Val’and ‘Mom’ were trying to‘weasel’ out of something. The ’cat’s out of the bag’.

Kid, you’ll be lucky to ever get married. But give it a try…GROW UP!.

Holly dear, you may be only a cartoon character, but you are seriouisly starting to push my buttons.

Ah, the arrogance of youth. Each generation thinks they are the ones that discovered romance, love, and all the intense feeling that make up adult life. Have pity on th poor girl. She will never know of how love matures and gets better as a couple share both the good things and bad things that comes into their lives.

Someone “Gibbs slap” that kid.Old…grumblegrumble

ha-ha!

Hey! Unless you’re married, please don’t insult married couples, especially the ones who are still married even today, and that includes my parents.

Watch it, Holly. You’ll be married someday and have kids of your own.

Old married couples are the ones who best understand true love.

As I always say ‘youth is wasted on the young’.

if they are going in the Spring he could have waited until after Christmas to plan who was going to babysit. duh

I hope there’s a half worm in Hollys apple

loved Paris and we are an old married couple of 46 years

Holly needs a serious attitude adjustment. She is by far one of the most unpleasant characters I’ve seen in the comic strips.

Holly is such a typical teenager – she and Jeremy from Zits should be friends!

Young unmarried couples wouldn’t appreciate Paris – it wouldn’t matter much where they went – one hotel room is somewhat like another……

OK, since most children/youths don’t have the verbal skill to defend or win an argument… On their behalf, I say…-I want to have fun, enjoy life and be actually happy while I still have my wits, youth and two still fully functional legs before I get too old and frail and my body and mind starts to fail and betray me!!!

I’ve got a feeling she will grow up just fine. I had all the answers when I was young…..at sixty-five I am finding out just how much I still don’t know.
