    My 18-month-old’s first sentence: “not in the mouth.”

    Ol’ Dads neglected to mention that Lizzie was actually happy right up until Michael went and dug his verbal boot in!!!

    Then again, to be fair on John, he might have just decided that there was no need for Michael to go through the whole go to your room caper all over again if he told Elly what Michael had said to Lizzie! Maybe a smart move after all…

    Oh dear. You can’t assume anything Elly. Now you have to show her what to do with them.

    Yes, she wants school supplies. But she never said what she wanted them for. ;)

    Let’s see - Lizzie shrieks annoyingly and eats crayons. Yet it is Michael who is punished??

    Mom needs to teach Lizzie what to do with the school supplies. Lizzie could start learning or be an artist. Mom and daughter time.

    Can’t understand why Elly is so shocked. Doesn’t she know that kids that age ALWAYS put stuff in their mouths?

    GAH! At least it wasn’t library paste!

    Elly looks like “YIKES!” But the best thing to do is telling Lizzie gently, ” No, do not eat those crayons, just color on the coloring book.” Elly should teach her how to do the coloring book helpfully. Give Lizzie time to learn how to do on the coloring book.

    At least Lizzie hasn’t colored on the walls…yet.

    That was our century; kids today will grow up never knowing the pleasure….

    Elly gives sharpened pencils to her 1-year-old and then leaves her unsupervised?!! What was she thinking?

    Yes, We chewed around our Pencils too. How we avoided lead posining is a mystery

    @ summerdog The writing on the wall comes later. LOL

    Give her crayons Ellie. They are non-toxic- for a good reason. And they are easier on the teeth and gums.

    Creativity is sooo tasty! Liz looks so meditative in that last panel eating her pencils.

    Tigger——-no lead in pencils for decades- graphite…….maybe you can get graphite poisoning?

    She’s too young for pencils, should have given her crayons and then showed her how to use them.

    Anyone notice that SHRIEK! is spelled wrong?

    Of course Lizzie is too young to know how to spell it.
