For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for January 11, 2009

And now mom, you get to play too.

At least paper is relatively easy to clean up. They could have made cookies!

One of my cats loves to make snowflakes. Just let him at the toilet paper!

Smile. Your kids have a father that plays with them. Paper enough to play with. And a house to decorate.

You never see the mess you are making until someone tries to get you to clean it up.

I wish Elly would yell, “YIKES!” Hey Elly! The best way to do is using vaccum cleaner to clean them up fast!

I think the best solution is to pick up the scissors, tape, and stack of good paper, but leave the mess. Dad can invent a game for the three of them to clean up after themselves.

Ellie, relax, Rosedragon is right. Just remind John & the kids that they left a mess. They’ll be glad to clean it up for you.

Pop a nembutal, Ellie. Wrap the tape backwards around your fingers and cleanup takes about five seconds.

I doubt John would clean up the mess with or without the kids unless she asked him to, or reminded him there is a mess. Men don’t see messes like we do. However if she is stuck with it a broom would do the trick pretty quickly.

Hmmm. A choice between (1) a husband who spends quality time and play with his children, or (b) a husband who doesn’t clean up after the mess. Seems like a no-brainer to me!

Dypak: Good answer, as long as she keeps it calm and matter-of-fact.

Bozo: Bad answer, using meds to cope.
