Close to Home by John McPherson for October 11, 2023

she will probably thaw you early mom…

The easy way out.

Settled into college? Without your guidance? Good luck Mom!!!

Bleeb’s gonna get frozen for the next five or so years if he’s not careful!

We’d all like to get past that stage.

“…else, that is.”

Before you go in… did you do my laundry, and can I have fifty bucks?

How about settled into trade school or the military?

Watch out, or you’ll be a Bleebsicle!

This is overdoing it. Mom needs to just chill out just a little bit more.

Or she needs to be bailed out of prison and have grandma take care of the cult-leader’s child she’s carrying.

A perfect plan.

I’m thinking that’s a little tiny bit excessive. Why popsicle myself when I can send the kid to military school. There’s bound to be a Hogwarts military academy out there somewhere.

I understand the need to run away but that is not the way. Teens are difficult years for both of them. Just do your best.

just don’t have kids. problem solved. BOOM mic drop

She’s a loser…..a real cool chick though, back in the day….

She remembered to wear socks!

Many a mother has dreamed of this, and a few fathers as well.

Bleeb’s drought continues.

“Wake me up when I become a grandparent”

Two months later, “Time to wake up, grandma”

Keep me frozen until there’s flying cars and a an orbital cannon I can control with the click of a pen

With a pair of twin girls who graduated university this last June after COVID, a gap year home for internships and one year distance learning I have just one word for the momsicle. Coward.

She doesn’t think this will mess up the kids so much they won’t be able to go to college?

If you don’t want kids, don’t have them.

She’s always been cold and distant.

“I’m not dead yet!!”

My granddaughter turned 13 this year and sometimes I wonder when she became possessed.

Anybody who’s raised daughters sees this as a great idea. We raised three daughters and my wife used to say girls grow boobs and fangs simultaneously

Excellent idea, Wake Me Up When It’s Over!

Then you wake up to an empty bank account.

And who is supposed to raise your daughter while you are frozen?

Wham would sing: “Wake me up after she’s gone-gone”

Good one John!…

I’m guessing that she didn’t read their pamphlet very carefully. They are good at freezing you but not so good at thawing you out.

Don’t be surprised if your 13 year old daughter has become a trans male college student when you are revived. It’s the zeitgeist.

One time I was 14 years old.

This just might be crazy enough to work!

I wish someone had told me this was an option. My youngest would still be keeping me frozen, of course, but whattaya gonna do?
