I did something like this as a kid. I snuck up on my Mom and grabbed her and made some kind of screeching dinosaur noise; only it wasn’t my Mom. You should have seen the startled look on that lady’s face.
Given today’s political climate. I expect to see rampaging mobs accusing Brian Crane of making light of the dreadfully serious issue of sexual harassment. Why, women in supermarkets will never again be safe! How dare he?!
Look on the bright side, Earl. You will never again have to take Opal to that store. Now try something similar at the fabric store and you are set for life.
The same thing happened to me at Target today… This weird man came up behind me and called me a F***. I told what the heck he was doin’ and he thought that I was his stuck up wife!!!

That’s one way of getting out of shopping at the supermarket.

Even Calvin once mistook some lady at the zoo for his mother (at least Calvin wasn’t banned from said zoo).

At least it’s someone with white hair. He’d get in more trouble with a teenager.

One of my kids, the one I call “The Honest One” would have ratted me out in a heartbeat.

Nelson patted Opal’s behind before so he knows the consequences.

Just say you are, Nelson. That way you’ll never have to go grocery shopping with your parents or with Opal again!

This actually happened to my best friend’s dad. But instead of a pat it was a rub and a “Hey Baby”!

When it comes to getting in trouble you have to “hand it” to Earl.
