Isn’t Petey old enough to go to toy store on his own while parents do their shopping? That’s how I get rid of my whining kids anyway.

Poor Peter. He took all the proper parental precautions, and even so Alice’s enthusiasm bloodied his nose. And now she’s tired of sitting! Beware!

I continue to marvel at how realistic this strip is, yet so amusing. Often, I laugh out loud. Love it!!

a kid is responsible for my first back injury – she was so excited to see me. she ran down the hall and jumped up in my arms and I wasn’t ready for her. we both went down. I never told her parents or her that my back was hurt.

My daughter hit me in the face with a golf club once. I’m pretty sure it was an accident.

Many’s the time I’ve been hit in the head by a child who was so happy to be picked up, s/he jumped. Bumps and bruises are as much a part of parenting as it is of childhood. We just don’t get over it quite as quickly!
