Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for July 04, 2022

He’s got dirt on Mom

No broken bones is better than cool.

Maybe time to get a tattoo?

My Mom rode dirt bikes, she was usually the ‘dirt bunny’ when the played Hare and Hounds. Funny I thought it was normal, not cool.

Are they skipping over Hammy’s punishment?

Big whoop. Rose is Rose rides a hog. Or, I should say her alter-ego does.

Or the way Rerun’s Mom rides her bike with him on the back!

Riding dirt bikes does not seem so cool to me.

My daughters’ friends think I’m cool because I’m NOT cool. I talk to them like human beings with a brains in their heads, but don’t try to talk like them or be like them. I have a definite “Mom” vibe that they like. I’m cool in my uncoolness.

I never tried to bee a cool dad or my wife a cool mom to our kids. Just good loving and supporting parents, working to teach them love, equality, respect for others, and responsibility. Also bad choices come with consequences.

I hate those types of swings. They hurt my hips and butt. I prefer the old ‘board’ seats. My neighbor installed on on a tree in his back yard. I asked if I could try it out. He said “Yes”. I had a BLAST!

Can’t compete with that

Working motorcycle and dirt bike crashes disabused me of any notion about ever riding one. There are plenty who do enjoy it and good on them, they’re just not for me.

Brian’s mom is the same kind of mom that dances in a string bikini at her sons high school graduation party. There’s always one in the neighborhood.

Brian’s mom raised the bar!!

Growing up, a mom on our block drag raced. They also had a VW hippy bus. She was the coolest mom.

Wait ‘till you meet Wallace’s mom Hammy!

I have a cousin who is a nurse. She has two sons and they each had a dirt bike. The younger one decided he could jump a creek and his brother said he’d break his neck. He tried to jump the creek, hit the bank on the other side and broke his arm. His brother and a friend hauled him to the hospital where his mom worked. She went ballistic. The older brother told his friend that he knew what his brother did wrong and tried to jump the creek. He hit the bank on the other side and got a concussion. BUT, no broken bones. Their mom took away the dirt bikes. Sigh…people wonder why I had a dog instead of kids.

Wallace’s mom surfs. In Rhode Island. In the winter.

bbbbbut… is brian’s mom a swinger…?

Just about………… but no cigar.

Wanda finds her inner child

… fair enough.

Haha! XD

Cool is a matter of perspective and context!
