Elly can't remember how often she used John's car for non-business purposes.
Where's John's envelope of hotel receipts?
Mike says, "It's that time of year, Elizabeth."
Don't go into the room with Mom and Dad unless you absolutely have to!
'Tis the season!

Michael comes up behind Elizabeth outside and says he hasn't seen a bug outside for months!
She asks what kind. Oh, man, it's gross! It has at least 50 hairy legs and is the most disgusting bug he's ever seen!
Elizabeth turns around to look and asks, "Where is it?"
Michael grabs the back of her neck and yells, "RIGHT THERE!"
Ah, brothers. Gotta love 'em.

Lynn talks about why Elizabeth got called Lizardbreath by Michael, and how the Elizabeths of the world felt about it!

Elly asks why Elizabeth isn't dressed for school yet. Her stuff is in the dryer.
Elly asks if she can just put on something else. Everyone is wearing tights and tees today.
Elly tsks and wonders why they don't just choose uniforms.
Elizabeth says that way everybody would look the same!
What are your thoughts on school uniforms?

Is there such thing as too much chocolate?

And he asked right in front of the priest! Happy Easter!

Elizabeth accidentally lets a wind-up chicken toy loose in church on Easter Sunday. It makes a lot of noise and lays eggs in the aisle.
Happy Easter, everyone!
#funnycomic #lynnjohnston #cartoonist #momlife #comicstrip #fborfw #easter
Michael is excited that they get to colour two dozen eggs for Easter.
John tells Elly the kids sure get excited about colouring eggs.
Elly wishes they were as excited about eating them!
Have you ever decorated eggs in the Ukrainian style with wax and dye?

Michael says a few weeks ago there wasn't a chocolate rabbit to be seen, but now they're everywhere.
John agrees.
It's amazing how those things multiply, says John.
...but right after Easter, they're all on sale!

April greets Grandpa in the morning as he looks out the window. She asks what he's looking at.
He shows April a Robin and says that means winter is officially over.
April tells John that he was wrong.
He said that winter is over when mom shaves her legs.
Have you seen the first Robin of spring yet? Do you like birdwatching?

April asks Elly about not having to work at Lilliput's today. It's Elly's first day of retirement!
Elly's going to start cleaning the house; she's going to go through every drawer and every corner and every cupboard.
She wants to sort and organize and throw stuff out. She's been wanting to do it for years.
April asks John if Elly has wigged out. He doesn't know, but he's locking his workshop.
Throwback to when Elly retired. What would you do first if you never had to go back to work?

Timothy Bot and Pella bot use a tablet together.
What do you think Timbot and Pella are up to on the tablet? Playing a game of Tic Tac Toe, maybe...or perhaps one of the games on the Alottabotz website. Check them out for free here: alottabotz.com/fun/

You have to admit they'd be fun toys.

Elly and John lie in bed talking. She asks if she's being unfair to Elizabeth.
Just because other kids have their ears pierced doesn't mean her child has to follow suit.
Does her child have to have something just because everyone else does?
Cabbage patch kids don't count.
Is it still a big deal for kids to get their ears pierced?

Elly blows air out of her mouth with a Whoooohhh sound.
She blows air again and makes a Whhhhhhhh sound.
She tells John she's totally out of breath. He asks what she's been doing.
She picks up a figurine and a candlestick and blows more dust off a table. Dusting!
What's your favourite household chore to cut corners on? Any tips?

Michael sees cookies cooling on a plate. Elly tells him to keep his hands off--they're for the bake sale.
He asks, "Can't I have just one?" Elly responds, "If there are a few left over."
He bumps the cookies with his elbow and a few fall to the floor and break.
Mike then asks, "What if a few get broken?"
What do you think...was this on purpose, or not?

Elly and Connie are out walking in the snow. Elly says it's all done. She's had a complete physical: blood test, stress test...
She's had her guts probed, her lungs checked, and a mammogram.
Connie asks, "And?" Elly says she's healthy. Connie says, "That's great."
Elly's happy she won't have to go through that again for another two years.
Nobody likes getting this medical stuff done!
