…has a pizza box castle in it.
My kids… stop me if this sounds weird… had a huge bunch of boxes that we had bought diapers in. Kids go through a lot of diapers, and if you save all those boxes…
You can build diaper box castles with them. Big ol’ walls made of big ol’ cardboard bricks.
And then you say, “Rrrraaaaaagh” and crash through the wall.
Those were simpler days, y’all.
Sounds like she’s just like my mom. Tossing everything or deciding I was through using it before I thought I was through using it and giving it to my younger cousins when they visited for the reunion. I not caught so much grief than going into the attic about a month before the reunion, taking all the stuff she’d stashed up there and giving it to my friends. Where’s everything? Oh, that? YES!-were you in the attic. Well yes, I gave the stuff to my friends. WHY!!! Because, it’s my stuff… she finally got the idea. I SO feel for Paste here.
He can start over or he decides to give up his career and go move back in with Hubris and take his best stuff.
Yup. Welcome home, Paste.
We didn’t have cardboard when I was a kid. We had to attract the roaches ourselves, and we built our castles out of those.
WOW. it’s like the inquisition or a raid was done by a special agency went through there.
even more, if you look at the way she references about who did this. “them”
The cleaning crew she has come in on regular basis, they were told to toss it all and they did. I doubt they have full time staff, but instead have the Merry Maid squad (or whatever) come in once or twice a week….
So these boys of yours… do they have tails and answer to names like Fluffy? No reason why….
I’ve had that happen to me.
It’s a horrible betrayal by a parent to make a kid feel that anything they regard as their own is so dismissed as to be disposed of, it made me feel as if I could be so easily dismissed.
While I agree with most of the commenters here about how obnoxious a parent she is for doing this to her son, there Is a part of me that wonders if it will actually teach Paste to appreciate Hubris for being a half decent pretty cool guardian and maybe not to take so much for granted with him. I admit, that little part of me is still of the mind that Santa is more than just an ideal but ya know…
annnnnd I am back to hating that woman… Good job!
My mom did this to me when I was a kid. Thing is, I don’t remember missing anything of value. So I’m of two minds on this one. You really shouldn’t throw away anything of value (valuable to the child, that is) but you also have a responsibility to rid your home of any biohazardous waste.
I also like how everything is blamed on “them”.
Add twenty years to Paste and that sounds like me.
Mad magazines, and he didn`t know who Alfred E. Newman was in an earlier comic? It’s still funny though, and we can forgive a minor slip.
mad magizine thank goodness for hate to find out his reaction if she had said they threw out all his playboys . oh well it proably won’t take paste long to get his room back in the shape he wants it
If his mom found Playboys under his mattress, I bet Paste would have gone straight to the penitentiary school for boys and sent to the Seminary afterwards. (Greg that picture still haunts me, no amount of brain bleach will wipe that sketch on yellow lined paper of Paste with a military flattop ‘high and tight’ and Fortis on the pocket of his olive drabs… Paste would have been so lucky as to been signed into the service over some Playboys in the mattress)
