For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 08, 2013

I think Lizzie’s weighs less than Michael’s; you can see the melting drips.

My parents had a good solution— anyone who bragged, whined, or started comparing lost their treat.

nice sentiment

I didn’t see anyone say Thank You. Be happy for what you have, so many others have nothing.

If these snotty little brats grew up with my parents, they would be on Medicare before they ever saw ice cream again. They never say thank you for anything, are constantly whining, and have the social graces of a feral cat. Disgusting. We were not perfect children (there are no such thing), but we appreciated what we were given, and were taught respect for others. Bragging got you sent from the room, and disrespect got you punished.

Why is Elizabeth’s shirt green in one panel but pink in the rest?

Never cared for these kids. I liked them better when they ‘grew up’.

I got you a spoiled little sister

Probably from a display case near the check-out where single items are kept.

All I’ve got to say is – - – - – - – KIDS!!!!!!

@Abbatis-Hey don’t malign feral cats-they are much nicer than these kids and more grateful for what they get,

My parents neatly solved the cake portion problem. One of us cut it and one of the other ones got first choice. You’d be amazed how well that works, even with three of us.

My older brother always asked our mom for “just a sliver” of cake. One time she finally had enough and cut a slice so thin you could practically see through it. And it stood after it was cut…Mom magic.

I did the This cut then That makes the choice—-worked every time (yes, even with three kids). And when there were squabbles among all of them, they had to write up and signed off on one report of what happened, Most of them were hilarious! And probably pretty close to the triuth!

convenience stores sell them individually.

In days long gone, we were able to buy them one at a time! Don’t know about NYC!

I was sent to my room for LOOKING at my brother the wrong way

Exact Same is redundant!

Yes well he got away with so much. Sigh. it’s in the past
