Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for July 30, 2016

And elaborate carefully, lad.

Well dad, I guess no one cos we are the only ones left on my route.

I don’t see how he was able to maintain a paper route with his work ethic.

No other question today (yet?).Care to elaborate?Tony?

Who does the route when they’re not away?Presumably the same guy who “delivers” the weekly papers here…

I haven’t seen a ten-year-old (?) id with a paper route in years.

Around here the drivers are adults with cars.They pick up the papers before dawn, and deliver to much larger areas than a kid could reach, even on a bike.

And with subscription rates dropping,the delivery territories will have to grow even larger.Elliot, meanwhile, wears a path in the rug, from couch to kitchen to bedroom.

Oh! Just leave him at home alone an see if he can survive! With his paper route as his only means of support!!!

It’s just like my house. My son’s having another surgery on his brain Tuesday……Yeah. Had to find out the time from his GF.

That kid needs a real arse kicking!!!

Thanks guys and gals

Thanks guys

My only time having a paper route was delivering the Minneapolis Tribune for two weeks, back in the ‘50s. It was my friend’s route and he was on vacation. I enjoyed the experience, getting up at 4:30 to collect the stack of papers and then walking the route hauling the papers in a shoulder bag. I even had to collect from the customers each week – an interesting experience. But when it was over I was glad it was only two weeks.

Plods… My prayers, too, will be with you and your son….
