Ain't It Sad

We have the Baby Blues 2008 Daily Calenday. Baby Blues is one of my favorite comic strips. The May 8-10th strips were funny, but not-so-funny.

The Theme of all three was Good Parenting and they looked at how Darryl and Wanda's parents raised them, and how they are raising Zoe and Hammie. It was a Then and Now.


May 8th

THEN Darryl's father throws a bat and glove to him and says: "Here's a ball and glove, son. Go play baseball."

NOW-- They're holding up papers to Hammie, Wanda's saying: "We've signed you up for T-Ball, and we're hiring a private coach to develop your skills and sportsmanship."


May 9th

THEN-- Wanda's mother: "Eat your fish. It's good for you."

NOW-- Wanda to Zoe: "Don't eat the fish. It's bad for you."


May 10th

THEN-- Darryl's parents as his mom puts a bandgae on his knee: "I guess you learned a lesson about climbing trees."

NOW-- Wanda putting bandage on Hammie's knee: "We need to pass legislation to make trees safer."

Funny, but sad.
