Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for July 20, 2024

Poor mom.

Next time, don’t give them money for ice cream.

My mom liked the ice cream cone “Drumsticks.” I never forgot to get one for her. My favorite was the butterscotch bar, vanilla ice cream coated in a butterscotch shell.

I preferred the soft-serve ice cream truck. Real milk in the shakes & malts! So WHAT that they were seven bucks!

Kids only her what they want to hear!

At that age it’s self preservation!!

We didn’t have ice cream trucks where I lived, but our freezer usually had Kool-aid popcycles in it.

In Brooklyn we called it/him “The Ice-cream Man”.

Stupid selective hearing!

No dreamsicle for mom. No ice cream for the kids next time.

The next time you guys beg for ice cream, you think you’ll get any?

“I scream, you scream, we all eat while Mom screams…”

This is why attendance at Ice Cream Trucks requires adult supervision. The parent also gets their change back.

Now I want a Dreamsicle.

She should have known by now.

To be fair, that does sound like something Wanda would say.

KEEP DREAMING…

She could have just gone with them.

I can understand Hammie’s doing that: he’s just foreshadowing his husbandly listing skills. But Zoe?

ah…memories… good times, good times… (thanks to Good Humour!)

My kids were so thoughtful. A friend at my work gave them all the money in the tip jar. When they asked me what they should buy with it I said it was up to them. They bought food for the cat.

If she did say be safe then why are sitting in the gutter?

Only satisfy them selves.

C’mon Wanda, did you forget who you were talking to?

Pretty sure that no change is coming back.
