Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for February 27, 2022

good try thwarting Patty like that, Charlie Brown

This is an example of what’s known as “game theory”

Kids grow up fast, don’t they!

Cheating with shoes.

When I was a young child, all us kids (my siblings & cousins) would measure up to my grandmother, who was 4’10. “I’m getting taller than Memere!” When she died, I was an adult and inherited the title. All of my nieces & nephews would measure up to me (at 5’ even) “I’m getting taller than Auntie Karen!” As it stands now, I’m the shortest in 3 generations, and my siblings’ GRANDkids are measuring up to me!

“Now, that’s just cheating!” (Whovian quote)

The unspeakable virus came to my friend’s family and they spent about 6 weeks passing it around. When I next saw them, my favorite 12-year-old was quite a bit taller. I told her she was about to grow!

I think every kid has done this at least once in their lives. I had long hair, so I always cheated with that.

I wore platform shoes back in the early 1970’s.

CS was really a genius for this kind of thing eh. Just childlike simplicity, a little competition, no big scene or punchline so to speak. Very refreshing right now ; )
