Lynn's Comments: My husband was a do-it-your-selfer, so we always had a good supply of tools around the house. One day I found my daughter undoing all the screws she could find. The following day, I caught her trying to take the license plate off the car. It was then that I realized she was going to be a handy person, too. We just had to wait until she was old enough to figure out how to put things together as well as take them apart!

Lynn's Comments: There is some satisfaction in seeing my daughter doing and saying these exact same things; yet another joy of having grandchildren.

Lynn's Comments: At the time I was doing these strips, I had to pay attention to the age of the new puppy and to show his growth—week by week. Without a new puppy to measure, I had to guess...and I managed to do OK, but at the time it was hard to find research material!

Lynn's Comments: At the age of 72, I tried skipping. I figured it was something one never forgets how to do. I took the rope and...nothing! I couldn't do one proper jump. It was as if I'd never learned, and with all honesty...I did what April is doing in this panel. I started by stepping over the rope!

Lynn's Comments: Yup...this was fun—speaking in an arrogant, sophisticated encyclopedic jargon that even we had trouble understanding. These days, I just wait for "Question Period" in the House of Commons.

Lynn's Comments: When I was training our new puppy, the breeder told me to clap loudly when he was doing something wrong—that he would be shocked by the loud noise and stop. I did this and it seemed to work, as did the use of a water spray bottle. Puppy training was the only thing I knew anything about, so when my son was a toddler, I found myself clapping my hands and shouting, "NO!" the way I'd done with the dog. Somehow this wasn't such a good kid-training method. Since he knew the loud noise came from me, he simply enjoyed the opportunity to see me do it again and again!

Lynn's Comments: This story begins with the true account of a friends' desperate bid to escape from East Germany. He managed to crawl through barbed wire, elude guards, and hide in a frozen trench. He made his way to Canada and I met him at art school. We remain good friends today. So many people have incredible stories. You just have to ask.
