Red and Rover by Brian Basset for August 15, 2024

This is where Red starts wondering how compatible he and Ruby will be.

She must be an alien.

So, she’s not evil and with a laboratory. Oh goody….

Never say never, Ruby!

I knew girls who were like that… until they met me…

….she is always in her room!!!!!

I’m never bad… how boring for a kid.

Uh oh, this does not bode well . . .

The first little diminishment of the crush.

Uh oh! Ruby might be too perfect for Red and Rover!

Oh, she’s good.

Actually, you are not bad yourself though you are misguided at times when you listen/don’t listen to Rover…..

I find that difficult to believe.

In other words, she hasn’t been caught yet.

boring,,,,,,

Um….. Maybe she’s not the one for you, Red. (Although they do say opposites attract.)

Maybe she’ll come up with rocket fuel for Yours and Rover’s rocket …….. that is if you’re still interested …… ;)

Oh dear! I fear that distant bell I hear tolls the beginning of the end of - sniff- romance.

Dr. Lick will wear her down. Laugh and giggles from the good Doctor’s licks. Ha

Like I said yesterday,red….you’re outta your league,time to cut your losses & get out while you can………….

Ruby is an interesting kid. I wonder if she will have a good influence on Red.

My son was in 3rd grade when he came home, asking me, “why am I never punished?” turned out, at school, they talked about punishment, and he related to me what his peers were tellling which he never experienced … (sent to room, in the corner, to bed, no TV [we had no TV anyway at the time], even spanking etc, he was shocked to hear all that…; and, they apparently talked about child-abuse at the same time….)I must say I did not have the impression they were NEVER punished. Consequences, cleaning up messes etc apparently is not “punishment”? ….But when he asked “why do you never send us to bed or ground us or…” I said, “because it does not work anyway…”
