Imagine the bubble gum bubble one could blow.

I was walking past a couple with a little boy. The mom was hovering... the dad walked ahead... and the boy was eyeballing a puddle. I stopped to watch and I had to bite my tongue to keep from cheering the boy on. He walked into the puddle and the mom reached out to grab him... but it was too late! He splashed happily for a few seconds before the mom dragged him out. He had rubber boots on so no harm, no foul...4

It's a shame more kids aren't allowed to just get messy these days! My mum was always happy for me to jump in puddles and heaps of dry leaves, make mud pies in the garden, climb trees, and all kinds of other messy things. I'd have let my son do the same if he'd ever wanted to, but he never seemed to like getting dirty! I couldn't even get him interested in finger painting...

Both my son and my daughter got to eat their peck of dirt. I figure they learned as much about life by playing outside as they ever did in school... and had much more fun... Strangely, my wacky ex saw things differently. Perhaps her objections were rooted in her distaste for muddy laundry items?I was walking past a couple with a little boy.

Maybe! It's not always easy to clean them up afterwards, but nearly everything washes out with soap and water and it's worth it.

Oh boy... My son never tried this one but my daughter... well, press onward, gentle readers...3

To her credit, my daughter was trying to self-rescue from twisting a round brush into her (then) long tresses, trying to make curls like her best friend's naturally curly hair.5
-
You can't imagine the joy of trying to disentangle a brush without pulling or cutting the long hair while your little girl is wailing. I stopped tugging and hugged her until she calmed. Minimal trimming required.3

I used to have a reverse mohawk... you know, loads of hair on the sides and bare on top... and I don't like to wear hats so I shave the whole thang. It makes me look tough.

Break out the razor, Hobbes... finish it off smooth like mine!!4

The tao of Tracer Bullet... "Suddenly my door swung open and in walked trouble. Brunette as usual."5

Isn't it fascinating that Calvin's dad actually recognizes that slightly evil grin...?3

I like the "You think I'd do this?" comment... Yes, Calvin, she knows you'd do this... lol3

I had missed the ones with Calvin as a private eye! Wow, I really thought I had seen them all, thanks @UncleMac2

@Montepulciano, Tracer Bullet makes a total of three story arc appearances... His skills as a detective are almost as stellar as Spiff the Spaceman's skills as a pilot...

$8 for a haircut? What a bargain!!4

The options are only limited by the different colours of magic markers available...DeficitDuchess wrote: »3 -
I wonder why Mom felt this was a problem? I wonder how much Hobbes paid for that marker?4

Hmmm... His hair grew back pretty fast...2

One of my old friends used to make her ice tea by setting a jug of water & teabags in the sun. It worked.2

Sun tea, it is a thing.3

I tried to put a go comics link in the previous reply, but it didn't work. I'm trying it again. I hope it works this time.
