For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 26, 2021

Does Elizabeth want Mike to do it again because:

1. She likes gross things?

2. She likes to see what Michael would look like if he was punched in the mouth really hard?

3. She is planning his murder and needs to take notes?

All of the above.

I’m an only child so I’m glad I never had to deal with this lunacy growing up.

Well one good thing, at least Michael has gotten over his depression and sulking of losing his girlfriend to another man.

Dad’s a dentist right? Maybe Michael is showing what early dentistry looked like?

Have him try it with some hot-spicy mustard.

After the initial shock, kids seem to love grotey things. I think it’s a general curiosity thing maybe.. How many of us DON’T check out an accident scene?

I’m not sure if that was a gross out win or not?

Or Elizabeth take the fun out of it with Mike.

Now do it again with this hot sauce!

Pretty much the reason people go to horror movies or ride roller coasters.

Just like a woman…..

Probably #3

When I was in high school it was a fad to try and gross out the girls. At the local after game hangout for sodas and fries, two of my buddies who didn’t have dates (their behavior had a lot to do with this) came over and tried their “gross out” routine on Judy. She just looked them in the eye and said, “Look, you can talk about a river of snot and it’s not going to bother me”. They moved on.

Brothers!! eyeroll My older brother KNEW I hated pickles so he’d walk up to me , take a BIG bite of a dill pickle & breathe it into my face (nice guy huh? )

Of course Michael is a gross pig. He learned it from his mom who eats watermelon like a disgusting pig.

Does Michael have a job this summer? You would think he would want to make some money to get his own car.
