Alex knew this was going to happen.

Pray his ex doesn’t show up anytime soon!!!

Funny enough, if I have it right, the charactor of Kim actually was introduced as an infant in the mid 70s (adopted from Vietnam). Learned English from listening to President Carter I believe. Being that Mike’s roommate SERVED in Vietnam, you can get the idea of the age difference.

Good timing Mr T, we need something to smile about given the other horrendous news.

Sweet.

“where was she?” “under your car” was a true LOL moment!

This is one of the cutest strips ever.

As long as everyone is happy, it’s a positive result. …ex’s don’t count.

Before I was happily married, I would have taken my Kim back in half a heartbeat!

They were clearly very broken people, tarnrider. I hope that you were able to recover from that harsh beginning and now thrive. Sometimes we can live a good life and make people feel welcome in our lives because we learn from the negative lessons we received from others and then we just do the opposite.

Luckily for Alex, she gets Mike and Kim!

Little kids make the best spies.

I think the old French rule was that the woman’s age should be at least half the man’s plus seven. If Mike is, say, 44, Kim would have to be … well, I’d say Kim is definitely worth at least a minor scandal!
