For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 14, 2012

They can run today’s strip on Mother’s Day.

So true, Michael … Moms are like that.

And once again, we see the brighter side of John.

John isn’t a bad guy. He just need to get it together more often and get his foot out of his mouth!

Unless you had my mom who’d re-gift your present right back to ya on your birthday! “Bitter, party of one?” … “Oh, that’s me..”

True, my Mother would accept any gift from a store but if I brought home a hand made ornament for the tree before Christmas break, it went straight into the garbageo—’I’m not going to have that trash on my tree’.

That is sad, IndyMan. I treasure the ornaments that my kids made more than the ones bought from the store. And anything else they make has a place of honor.

Now, as for John, on the other hand, the expectations are higher. Having been in both roles, the hubby has more expected of him (fairly I suppose).

I have all my kid ornaments they made me in school also my grandkids ornaments they made in school also the ornaments they all made when not in school and a few of my pick up kids that drifted in and out of our lives. Yup I have a really full tree. It causes guests to check it out carefully. Garbage? What a sad excuse for a Mom. Indy Man you should have been one of my kids.

The motto of Little Brothers/Friends of the Elderly is ‘Flowers Before Food’. There are times of the year, and times of one’s life, when that is the correct priority…even though some people would dismiss the sexual organs of plants as ‘sorta dumb’.

I hope he got her the crockpot if that is what she asked for.

Yes we are.

Gifts made by our children are the greatest gifts in the world.

Not all Mons are . . . but your’s is!
