   hahaha … “if a girl steals your baseball cap, she likes you … whatever you do, do not hit her , she will know you like her and we boys don’t want that!! ” (said to me in grade 3 or 4 by a ‘friend’.

   Panel 4-looks like she recognizes him!

   Don’t mean to nitpick, but there are no apostrophes in “takes” or “Jacks”. The latter is a plural, not a possessive.

   How about sharing a box of Cracker Jacks with her and offering her the prize?

    That’s so romantic, Macushlalondra! Much better than my “Let’s go hide in the coat closet together during recess” line! ;o)

    I remember giving a girl a ring I got as a prize in a Guess What box. Wonder what ever became of her … wonder what her name was …

    That’s about the same how I “bumped” into a girl I liked but was too shy. She married me a few years later, still married 30+ years later.

    There are people who never really learned the Standard American English Language while they were in grade (elementary) school.

    They think that adding ‘s to the end of a word makes it plural and the contraction of “you are” is “your,” and “there” is how you contract “they are” or means the same thing as “belonging to them” (which is really “their”).

    The confection made of caramel-coated popcorn and peanuts is “Cracker Jack.” It is not “Cracker Jacks.”

    He’s real smooth with girls, just like his dad.

    That’s it, you few English perfectionists, be sure you get everyone else so intimidated, that they won’t want to make any comments for fear of making unforgivable errors. That would certainly make the comment list rather, if not extremely, short.

    Neither was Will Rogers a perfectionist in verbalising, but he still made more sense than most.

    Cracker Jack prizes were great, and we sewed them on our beanies, but I preferred the flavour of Pink Elephant popcorn. And it was a beautiful shade of pink! Points to Michael for bravery.

    I liked girls a few years before the other boys did.
    Didn’t get me very far at such a young age.
    In high school it was a different story.
    The girls remembered the boy who was nice to them years earlier.

    Except for the pony tails, Deanna looks just the same as she did as an adult in the later strips.
    And her daughter Meredith was even prettier!

    Wildmustang1262 said, about 1 month ago

    What did Mike talk with Deanna after he bumped her in the hall at school? Did he offer her for getting together at the lunchtime or something like that? I am just wondering curiously. Hummmm…. :-/

    Keep at it, Michael. Keep at it.

    One of my youngest daughters asked me “Why does_ talk nice to everyone, but doesn’t talk to me?” I was thinking “He likes you!” But saying “I don’t know. Ask him”

    If you can understand what someone is typing, what is the problem?

    thebird55 said, about 1 month ago

    I can’t understand why so many people have such an aversion to learning something. I welcome criticism. It just might keep me from repeating a mistake and appearing stupid.

    Burgundy2 said, about 1 month ago

    Despite my previous comment, I am actually rather persnickety about grammar and spelling myself. However, I am also aware that on these forums we do have a wide cross-section of both typing skills and familiarity with the idiosyncracies of the English language. For that reason, I don’t tend to comment on someone’s mistake.

    On the other hand, thebird55 you are right. One can learn from criticism.

    I hope it was understood that I was just trying to ligthen up the situation with my previous comment.

    thebird55 I tend to agree - I don’t think BlitzMcD and Joe Allen Doty meant anything bad by their comments - seems to me they were just trying to be helpful!! Some people take it as such a personal affront, which is a shame. Gee, just be happy that someone cared enough to point it out! At any rate, we can all learn new things from time to time :o)

    We wouldn’t go shopping in our pajamas. When writing, others can see only how we write. That’s it! Making a decent appearance is reason enough to write as well as we can. Or not.

    Has anyone heard about the mom in Michigan? The state is threatening a lawsuit unless she stops baby-sitting her neighbors kids.

    Kind of hard to believe these are the same kids who were yakking it up back in January and November.
