Stone Soup by Jan Eliot
BEFORE I got married I had several theories about raising children. NOW...I have several children and no theories whatsoever. - Jan Eliot

SCHOOL FUNDING CUTS
BANG! CRASH!
AIEEEE!
The only reason I stopped by to comment and raise my eyebrows was to somehow convey the idea that, although there are no guarantees, raising a child with serious religious values does, indeed, do wonders.Interesting that the Mormon already mentioned it, which means that my reaction was not so far off the mark. Me? A Torah observant (ie: Orthodox) Jew.
I guess call today’s strip Father’s Day as most typical families are hectic.Holly good thing parents are busy you would not get away dress as you are.Mean time to all the men including my own husband we raised too young children who stayed out of trouble now adults.
I find it very interesting that Holly (who is growing up without a father figure) is dressed in a provocative manner that most fathers would try to reign in.
Magnify to see it is a quote from John Wilmot."Thanks, LightBuzz. Although Wally may not have said it, I think he’s musing on this very thing!My former hairdresser was a first cousin of my tather. She was full off advice on how I should raise my kids. Of course, she didn’t have any herself!

Join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The gospel of Jesus Christ does wonders in a child’s life.

Happy Father’s Day to Wally and all the fathers out there – with or without theories.

You do realize the circle isn’t Wally’s thought bubble, don’t you?

of course parents need to know the difference between respect and spoiling them.

Love the fruit fly, the ook running down the window, and the four-fingered cartoon handprint!

Instead of “School Funding Cuts” about a headline about the HORRIBLY FAILING SCHOOLS!
GeorgeJohnson almost 10 years ago
Yeah? How about sending them to a GOVERNMENT SCHOOL?
Horrible failures, worse sex abuse than the catholic church sandal.
