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!

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 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?

Lynn talks about the audience For Better or For Worse attracted, and why it sometimes surprised her.

You have to admit they'd be fun toys.

These creatures are from the planet Garbanzo. What do you think of a planet populated by beans? What would they think of us eating dishes like chili or hummus?

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?

Tim Bot watches his Grandpa Bot work in his well-appointed workshop full of odds and ends.

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!

Mike sees a Valentine's Day decoration and says he forgot it was Valentine's Day after breaking up with Rhetta. Weed says Mike has repressed it.
They're at the Bung and Wattle pub with pitchers of beer and they're going to unleash their pent-up anxieties and free Mike from the past.
Mike tells Weed he can't party because they have an early class and Weed would have to wake him up and carry him there.
Weed says that's what friends are for.
Weed is such a good friend, isn't he?

Timothy Bot pets his robot dog, Rusty.
Tim Bot loves his dog bot, Rusty. If you could have a robot pet, what kind of animal would you choose? A robot monkey could be really useful around the house if you programmed it properly!

Michael sees Elizabeth going through the mail and asks if she received a Valentine. She says it's none of his business.
Michael asks if she has a mad, passionate romance happening. Is Lizardbreath in love??? He tries to convince her to tell him.
When she doesn't respond, he calls her "Sistwirp" and says, "Ok, be like that!!"
She takes the letter to her room and reads it. It's a "dear occupant" piece of junk mail.
Liz probably wouldn't tell her brother--even if it was a mad, passionate love letter!

John looks in the window of a flower shop while thinking about getting Elly flowers for Valentine's Day. Elizabeth and April think he should say it with chocolate instead.
What's your favourite thing to give for Valentine's Day?
