Val: You made a SLING SHOT?
Alix: So Max and I can play war in the backyard.
Val: You made MAX one?!
Alix: We're only shooting ping pong balls.
CRASH
Alix: Max!? Where did you find a ROCK??
Val: Save us.
Who in their right mind would give a rubber band gun to a toddler? Toddlers have not yet developed a sense of right and wrong. They naturally will prefer living targets because they get reactions out of them and would not care if they hurt their living targets. It is best not to give any projectile toys until they are much older. Just basic common sense – which Wally apparently had none.
Max needs the slingshot snatched out of his hand and Alix needs a good long timeout and needs to work off the broken window. She knew she was doing the wrong thing — since she tried to hide it from Val.

{sigh} Time to revert back to the rubber band gun I suppose.

Max…. won’t talk to anybody. Thinks it’s funny to be destructive. Only cares about what he wants. …budding psychopath?

Nah, just a typical three-year-old.

I learned in a tweet from Jan Eliott that new daily Stone Soup episodes will resume next week after 3 weeks of 2011 reruns.

No not typical more like a budding bully.

No need to worry; I’m sure Dennis the Menace grew up just fine too.

Politics has no place here. There’s a political cartoon listing for that.

Bringing politics into a non-political comic is bad form.…and corpcasselbury, your comment is just as bad.

Political comments not welcome. Did Huffington cut you off?
