Little guys usually love to help, although it is a ton more work to let them they grow up to be better adults if you do.
@Macush; why is taking out the garbage a man’s chore? We share chores, whomever is in the best position to get one done when it needs doing does it. The house is clean enough, dishes done, pets fed, garbage, recycle & compostables taken care of…. We’re not so fond of gender specific jobs.
I’m with the rest of you. Where in the world did that house come from? It looks nothing like the one they moved out of so Michael and family could move in.
Avolunteer, I’m not into gender specific chores either but the garbage bag is usually heavy so it’s easier for a man. Like it’s easier for a man to do mow the grass and do yard work and work on the vehicles. It doesn’t look like John does diddly squat around there, the least he can do is take out the trash.
rtt470, you dont have to be mean to everyone. I kinda pity you, if you have to come to an online comics website to talk down to people just to make yourself feel big.
Technically, thats not his fault. Its Elly’s, for putting so much crap in that garbage can and making a poor kid carry it down that driveway!!! at least his dumster’s not behind the fence of your very large backyard! LOL! (mine is)

I like howtheduck’s background info on the strips. Keep it up.
My first thought today was; hey, that’s not their house!
mroberts88 over 14 years ago
Yeah, sure he’s helping….helping make more work for her, and since she wont be as bored, technically, he’s helping her.

LOL mroberts88 that’s one way of looking at it! xD
If she’d bought Hefty bags, then Michael might not have been able to carry all that trash in one go!
I think she was being a bit ambitious anyway thinking she was going to get those TWO big bags in that itty bitty can :o)

Open Wings, what type of help was never specified. I’m more interested in how she’ going to get one bag in.
