Lynn's Notes:

Yes! You have already read this Sunday page! Somehow this found its way into the Halloween slot and in order to keep the stuff flowing on time, we had to print it again! You might think that rerunning a strip is just as easy as turning the pages of a book...but we manage to find- and lose things as we dig around the archives and put work on line. Fortunately, the RIGHT strip ran in the paper, so you are getting an exclusive apology from yours truly. All we can do is our best...and right now...this is it!! Lynn J.

My kids were born almost 5 years apart. When you have a little kid- one you can pick up and cart around...and one the size of a St. Bernard, the littlest always seems to get the most affection. Older kids sort of shrug off the hugs and wriggle out of cuddles, but they need them nonetheless. I guess the love wasn't being distributed evenly when Aaron asked this question and it really hit home. I put Katie down and gave him the biggest cuddle right then and there. A lesson well learned. He's almost 40, now and still not too big to hug!
