   Billy only ever left nice, clean black rectangles behind- never muddy prints.

   I like to think of it as Family Circus Maria style. None of those kids would do this on purpose.

   Just like a kid, Maria looks only at the short term effect, and lacks the foresight to see the long range consequences.

   Good thing Maria doesn’t have a dog. Otherwise there might be a certain odor emanating from her footprints.

   As a comic strip reader, I find this very funny. As a mother, I’m stifiling a gut wrenching scream.

    What we don’t see is Maria getting scolded. She gets to watch the clean up.

    Oh that’ll come. It may happen offstage and we won’t get to see it- but Maria will.
