   That was sweet. Siblings looking out for each other. My oldest has been known to jump on the nurse when the younger one is getting a shot. We have to hold down two kids for one shot.

   I’m almost 50 and my “big brother” still thinks he has to look out for me.

   Seems she could’ve just gone to the bathroom but what kid hasn’t peed under the sprinkler or in the pool?

   Awe, that’s what big brothers do.

    I’m thinking looking at the 5th panel she was headed for the bathroom and didn’t make it in time. Michael aided with a cover-up.

    Awwwww, poor Lizzie! I hope next time she will have to remember when she has to go for potty, she needs to run quickly!

    No one will know but three people: Michael, Elizabeth and… the reader.

    Lizzie was afraid that she would not make it to the bathroom in time to urinate and she went crying to Michael. So, he decided that she could go and get the urine washed out of her shorts at the very same time by having her run through the sprinkler.

    When Michael grew up, he became a published writer because he used his creative ideas then, too.

    This reminds me of the words on the sign “Welcome to our ool, notice there is no P in it.”

    that’s why I’ve always loved this strip. My daughter and son were the same age when Lynn first started. The antics were so similar between brother and sister I took the paper just to see them everyday.

    Now my kids are in their 30’s and big brother is still there for his baby sister!

    Big brother to the rescue! I just wonder how Michael was able to fit into Liz’s clothes or is that just comic strip magic?

    snakemama, that IS Liz in the sprinkler. Her hair is wet so it looks straight like Michael’s. The water made her curls stick to her head. I thought it was him at first, too.

    He can be seen, in silhouette, playing in the back ground, in the sand box.

    I have a younger sister and we both give each other a hard time. Plus our mom. Dad’s been gone for 10 years.

    I add “s” after reader so we allllllllllll are the readers!

    The Patterson family in this comic strip is Canadian. The story has no connection with American Politics and non-profit rights organizations.

    I’m with you, Joe. The sprinkler is a good idea, but I bet there will still be some tell-tale signs that Mom will figure out. This type of “accidnet” is very common at Lizzie’s age and even older.

    My oldest still does that kind of stuff for her sister. I love the chemistry they have, and they could pull something like that on me, and I wouldn’t mind!

    Gotta love the kids!
