Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for September 26, 2014

Hahaha! Love how Val is proud of sounding like her mother! :-)

Holly must be besides herself having her own room now. Someday she will treasure her grandmother’s things…say in about ten years or so! ;)

@Holly

Skype to Grandma, ask which items to Dump and which items to Ship/Mail over to her, Problem Solved.

Or Holly you could set the room up like you were sharing it with your Grandma because when she comes to visit you will be.

@Kab BuchAfter a few more early afternoon/late night Skype sessions what makes you think the husband will want to visit?

Or does it?

When Holly goes to college…

I have a teddy bear-on-a-bicycle Christmas ornament from my paternal great-grandfather. Well, I have the bike; my sister is holding the bear captive.

Note to Jan: I follow your strip in my local paper so I’m not a frequent commenter here. In general I like Stone Soup, even if Evie did put words in her husband’s mouth the other day. But I have to say…ENOUGH! Holly has become so obnoxiously self-centered, dismissive, disrespectful and rude and is old enough that she’s no longer funny. This is the stereotype of the teen years that does not need to be perpetuated or legitimatized. Please can she tone down???

Note to other commenters: Yeah, I know: If you don’t like it don’t read it. I’m about there.
