Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 11, 2022

Don’t worry Dad, that’s not for at least a few more years.

If that were to happen, I suspect there would be a few boys with fat lips.

I should hope no one plays spin-the-bottle with 4 year olds.

I would’ve guessed that STB probably would have gone the way of bobbing for apples or musical chairs.

If that were to happen, I don’t think the boys would be the instigators.

COOTIES!

Circle, circle, dot, dot, now you have a cootie shot…

Former Pre School teacher here. You would be surprised at the age “first kiss” is . Not fresh kissing, just lip mashing. Kindergarten is about right. Kids are mimicking what they see parents/tv/movie folk do.

Spin the Bottle with 5-year olds? What is the world coming to?

Another wonderfully illustrated slice of Cul de Sac life. Who hasn’t experienced this, as a child or parent? I hope we get to see the finished card and the gift. Who wants to take bets that, in the end, Alice will make this party about her?

On a side note. Sheesh, stop all the Kvetching and enjoy Richards wonderful work.

good one

She’s growing up so much! ;)

Early Alice looks too cute for words. And if Madeline is a touch over-protective of Alice, we all don’t mind, I feel pretty sure.

Dill is not exactly a party animal, but he will enjoy a visit from the Girl Across the Street From Him….

All dressed up and not far to go.
