NO, MOM, NO! DON'T SIT ON THAT

After Amelia's Birthday Party

"Mom, you're sitting on my party noiser!"

BACK IN THE OLD DAYS

Glenn was tucking Ellery into bed and telling her a story about when he was a boy. She loves to hear about things that happened when he was little. Tonight's story was about Dad's dog Laddie. Laddie had gotten tangled up with a skunk.

Dad: ...and then I had to give Laddie a bath in tomato juice to try and get rid of the smell.

Ellery: Oh, right. Because you didn't have water back then.

THEOLOGICAL IDEAS

Ellery: God reads about me every day.

Mom: What did He read about you yesterday?

Ellery: I don't remember.

Mom: What did He read about you today?

Ellery: About you! About you swimming! He laughed.

JUST WONDERING

Ellery: Dad, how do you protect pumpkins?

Dad: Pumpkins? Protect then from what?

Ellery: From lots of things! From burglers, bugs, soccer balls...
