The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for December 09, 2012

Timmy…. suggest you go outside and climb a tree…. ! ! !

Dale has forgotten the Cardinal Rule of community property: What’s yours is mine and what’s mine is mine. Dale, there will be consequences, trust me.

Is that bill under the chair the Find-It? Cos I found it…. DIBS!

Joy has a “To Doo” list…. does that mean a whole lot of … well, you know.

“Try” to get of he phone…. I need that on my list…“Make brownies”….   Joy’s recipe:

I pkg Sara Lee Brownies

1) Thaw brownies. 2) Cut in squares3) Serve.

For step 2, she has to call Marlene for help. She can’t figure out how far apart to make the cuts.

I got a postcard from Marg!

Not many words on it, cos she can only have a cough likes to write in crayon.

LeakySqueaky, when are YOU coming back?We need you!And who’s gonna pay Marg’s bai… um… pick up Marg at the airport when she gets out of…. back?

It’s easy to catch a thief when you’ve got a little snitch like Timmy around.

No honor among morons. .@SS: Leaky still “on the mend”? Maybe you can use that bill you found on the floor under Dale as the start of Marg’s “welcome back” fund.BTW: YOU reach under Dale’s chair to snag it.

Not seeing much humor, or consistency in the characters in this one. Dale would never throw paper money down for Timmy: a nickel would be his idea of big money for the kid. And Burl would be trying to distract Timmy and Dale, so he could swipe the buck, or move it, to swipe later if no one noticed.

Anyone have ideas on when Marge and Leaky will be back? And what are we doing for Dry’s birthday tomorrow?

And talk about calling someone when you shouldn’t need help; back in my married days (eons ago) the wife of one of my X’s friends called me to help her make jello (from a package). It IS as simple as boiling water after all ;-D

No, it is just that I think they should be as even portions as possible. Actually the more difficult parts are measuring out the large quantity of dry ingredients and coring/grating the 3 organic galas. The rest is quite easy, though I have to put the butter in the bowl early and usually put the raisons to soak in vanilla at the same time.

I totally agree that kids Timmy’s age can be fetching things or such, but should NOT be expected to pick up dirty things that others have dropped (even money) – and if they DO they must be reminded to wash thier hands as adults KNOW to do (maybe not THESE adults).
