Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for May 17, 2018

I reckon Dad ain’t gonna cry, but rather go ballistic.

There may be no use crying over it… but Peter may be able to think up some creative alternatives.

I bet he could even, somehow, trade his own tears for some from Elliot.

Tony’s question for this one is merely “Yikes, right?”

Yup.

Yikes.

And then some.

Yikes and then hand Elliot a rake and the lawnmower. He can spend weekends and the summer working off the value of the object. Worked for my brothers. They became very careful of others’ belongings and still are.

I wouldn’t consider “You’re grounded” the start of a conversation.

“It’s coming out of your allowance and you’re grounded” are the first and last words of the conversation, as one-sided as they may be.

Grounded

Explain first then decide, what the punishment will be!!! Hard labor comes to mind!!!

Peter should know Elliot enough to know this was a setup. He should have said, “I don’t know, let’s see where this going”.

Perhaps he should get together with Calvin…
