Jan Eliot's funny and irreverent Stone Soup follows the saga of an extended, blended family, starring two working-mom sisters living just across the fence from each other. Val and Joan share life with their opinionated mother, a middle-school diva and 10-year-old tomboy, a reclusive teenage boy, a wild preschooler and his new baby sister...and of course Wally, the ultimate nice guy who steps into his stepdad shoes with grace amid the chaos. Working-parent hassles, pre-school tantrums, middle-school angst, love and the single mom... it's all here in Stone Soup.

Texting shortens most arguments.

How about we BOTH work on being more reasonable?

Evie will never get great-grandchildren if that antic between Val and Holly keeps up.

Be reasonable kid – do it my way or get out.

Reminds me of that movie where a mother and a daughter switched bodies…

Anyone here remember that old movie??

yep, “Freaky Friday”, they even did a remake of it…
As for Holly, that cellphone that she is texting on would have been on the floor, ground to bits under my shoe. When my daughter smarted off to her mother, she quickly realized the error of her ways…

Holly can argue about not having a touch-screen phone at least…

So glad I didn’t have kids. The cellphone would be gone.

My 20-yr-ld son has repaired several grils’ cell phones after their parents (usually fathes) have thrown the phone at the girl, wall, or floor. It doesn’t make sense to destroy something valuable in the name of “discipline;” what needs to happen is Holly’s brain needs time to grow up. ALL teenns’ brains are mush: there’s clinical proof but I can’t locate the source right now. Time will take care of Holly’s attitude, if Val lets her live long enough.:)

Send the little self-absorbed, disrespectful brat to boot-camp, already! The strip will be much more enjoyable, and we’ll see an example of progress in a character. If Max can be potty-trained, Holly can learn responsibility and accountability.

I would have been slapped across the face for talking back like that. My mom only slapped me 3 times, looking back I deserved it each and every time.

OK, kid, now the big guns come out… like doing your own laundry? Cooking? Your too young to drive – want to go to the mall for new clothes? Tough. Need a ride to a friends’ house? Walk.
Any more statements of independence?

Val needs to grab her by the shoulders and give her a good head butt.
