For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 03, 2021

Isn’t that the truth. There’s nothing in the world like a hug from a baby or a toddler. Its the full pure innocence of their love that makes them so magical!

I would like to know if the place was cleaned. They didn’t give mama time to look.

I love the looks on their faces in panel 3. <3

True that! The littlest ones are the best. Unreserved love and always happy to see you. Innocent love.

She said mama, how beautiful!

This is so sweet!

So kewl

Those years when your kids are excited to see you and when they give you the kid hugs are really nice. Elly is right that little kids are the best huggers.

Dog owners don’t have to be gone for more than 20 minutes to get the same reaction.

Another week of baby shrieks and babble?

Is the house clean?

Getting tackled by your littlest hugger is one of the best things in life.

Since it’s summer, my girls are home when I get home from work. They both greet me. The older one takes my lunchbox, empties it & puts it away & the younger one gives me a big hug. I’m greeted like this every day. Oh, and they’re 16 and 18.

Love…..

Very true. Now include the house will be clean.

At least someone is happy to see her. “Did you bring us any thing?” is the next part.

Elly was gone to take care of her Mom. now it’s April’s turn to take care of her, emotionally.

Reminds me of this “Family Feud” episode:

Since Elly said to Phil she is not ready to stop being a child, sure hope she remembers that the next time she screams at her kids to “grow up”.

I liked the one where John and Phil were marooned on an island. When they were rescued, John came home to a hero’s welcome. Michael and Elizabeth hugged him.

Elly: Kids, relax, will you. Give your father some living space!

John: No, it is fine…This is the first time I have ever returned home from a long trip and the kids did not greet me with “what did you bring me?”

I prefer BBW with big arms
