I just a little confused here: The second through fourth panels fit together as a coherent discussion. The first panel, though, seems out of place, implying that Connie was born before the invention of birth control and contradicting “Your mom must have wanted a large family.”

Overreactistan

Cidu Bill on Oct 3rd 2009

My kid made exactly the same comment to me a few years ago and believe it or not, I didn’t get all all googly-eyed over it (though at least Hi didn’t react the way Elly Patterson would, chasing Chip around the kitchen in a murderous rage). As I recall I agreed with him (because it’s true) and reminded him that life’s a bitch.
