PARENTS, TOO. SO, CAN WE PLEASE
JUST BE THE CUBS AND YOU BE THE PARENTS AGAIN? PLEASE? OH! WE THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER ASK. OH, HO... ALL THIS
RUNNING AROUND, PLAYING, HAS TIRED US RIGHT OUT. FROM NOW ON, I'LL TRY HARDER
NOT TO HOG THE PHONE. AND WE'LL TRY HARDER
TO BE MORE PATIENT... ...WHEN THINGS GET BUSY
AND STRESSFUL AROUND THE HOUSE. AND, IF I NEED
THE NEWSPAPER, I'LL GET IT FROM
