For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for November 19, 2020

you don’t say, Elly

Even April is looking at her like she’s weird

She’s going to rip up the whole dog, instead of just pieces of him!

you mean it doesn’t now?

Just so long as all that crap stays in one room.

Mine looks like a Tasmanian Devil lives here, and an untidy one at that!

I became a grandma 3 weeks ago. I live in a small 1 bedroom apartment. There is now a playpen (folded up) a bouncy chair, blocks for when shes older, and a rocking horse in here….

She’s right. I would never have known there was a baby in the house by looking at it. Looks like the dog is well cared for though.

Got to love grammas

As opposed to “rustic lived-in”? I have no kids or grand kids or nieces/nephews and my house looks like the Patterson’s. On my behalf tho, I have several pets..

Great way to start the kid on her way to entitlement. She’s going to come down with a case of the “gimmies”.

We baby-proofed our house years ago. Somehow, they still got in.

With all that junk, they’re going to be playing “Where’s the baby?”

It’s great being a PaPa. I don’t deal with poopy diapers, or crabby kids. My job is to buy the noisiest toys I can find, fill them full of chocolate, and give them back!!! My son asked me, “Dad, why are you doing this?” Its simple, “Revenge !!”

Is April going to goover the house with dog hair?

Some of us can make a mess like that without the “aid” of a baby. Oh well……

Why is the dad always standing with his hands in his pockets & slouched?

grandkids are your reward for not killing your own kids when they were young

Also saw a great T shirt on a grandma the other day. It said “Grandma’s to do list: 1. Fill grandkids up with Sugar. 2. Send them home.”

I missed out on my granddaughters’ childhoods. I would have loved to have spoiled them, but it wasn’t to be. I have a good relationship with them as adults, though. And I’m doing my best to spoil the great-grandkids.

“She’s going to be crawling before you know it” is right. April was crawling all over the house 10 days ago (see Nov. 8 strip).
