I can sympathize. I climbed the neighbor’s spruce tree once when I was about 7 to escape my mom’s wrath. She was standing below me screaming at me; I knew that I would have to finally come down and it was only going to get it worse the longer I waited, but on the other hand, the longer I could avoid a spanking, the better.
His misidentification of people and objects, frequent exhaustion, difficulty in class, and terrible aim in most throwing games indicate that he may have vision problems.
I once had to get my 4-year-old son down off a tree. The problem is, he weighed about 50 pounds, I weighed about 200. He was up on branches and limbs too weak to handle my weight. I managed to get him to climb down to me and he got on my shoulders and wrapped his legs around my waist. I’m not a “tree hugger” but that day I was. My ribs were sore by the time I got down.
When we got down, my wife asked him, “Why did you climb the tree?” The response was, “I wanted to see what the birds see.”
Did I miss the discussion of how impossible it would be for Calvin to cause that car to roll downhill? Especially without having been in the car. And I know it used to possible, but would have still been the drivers fault for not parking correctly.

Haha, I love how Calvin is less scared of a bear than his own mother. Hobbes should be proud.

What Calvin said in panel 2 isn’t true. Bears will also stand up to look around.

All of a sudden facing a bear doesn’t seem so bad, huh Calvin?

Perhaps Calvin only needed glasses?

One advantage of growing up in Illinois, no hills, so cars didn’t roll very far.

The look of terror and horror in Calvin’s face is priceless.

Calvin should be happy it’s mom. Bears are good at climbing trees. Mom, not so much. But then again you will have to come down at some point.

Moms can be monsters: latest news three children dead, three injured, house infested with rats, roaches, soiled diapers, spoiled food. Mom arrested.
