Holly be careful. Val is libel to also finish it.

Both Holly and Max are really horrible children. They need rules to follow.

Your life is just going to get a little less complicated when you are grounded.

In panel 1, Holly’s hairline looks like horns. How appropriate.

I didn’t really start seriously doing homework till I was 35!! I needed a degree in something because my plant didn’t seem like it would last. Got a degree in Data Science, got a job as a programmer when the plant closed. It was the only time school was important to me.

Time to clop her chops.

I was a brat, but NEVER bad as Holly!

This is a case to shake, mutilate and spindle.

Homework time now begins at 4 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m., with 20 minutes off for lunch. The place is the living room.

Holly’ll make a really good politician . .

OK missy, here is how it’s going to be. Your phone is gone and if you don’t bring up your grades to a minimum C+ by next marking period you’re grounded.

My plan was child did homework while I cooked dinner, and if necessary, continued on after dinner while I cleaned up the kitchen. I was available that way to help or answer questions. It just happened. I don’t recall coming up with the idea. Sometimes homework was done before I got home from work, but not too often. It was good bonding time, really. As child got older, sometimes I got home from work and dinner was ready. I went back for another master’s degree, and we did homework together for a few years.

And we have ignition in 5…4…3…

Forget the kind suggestions, it’s time for Mom to drop the learning bomb.

And She undoubtedly WILL ALSO finish it young lady…..
