Today's annoying thing about how Lizzie's graduation supposedly means something to her has Lynn ignore how children actually talk so she can shrug, mug for the camera and make a flippant lie about how this actually happened to defend herself from cruel people who hate to laugh when challenged on her coarse, immature sense of non-humor.
(Strip Number 6034, Original Publication Date, 16 June 1986)
Panel 1: We start off with John telling Elly that she'll have to reschedule her meeting because Lizzie graduates from kindergarten that Thursday.
Panel 2: Lizzie tells Mommy that Miss Lyon says they gotta go on stage, wear a funny hat and get a dicklona.
Panel 3: Lizzie isn't quite sure what's supposed to happen but she thinks that just maybe, getting this dicklona thing is somehow connected to gradulating from kinnergarten and gettin'to go to Grade One. (Note to self: suggest to whoever's left that Americans tend to use first grade to eighth grade and then the freshman-to-senior thing.)
Panel 4: John continues on to state that the teacher insists that all parents must attend this ceremony Lizzie doesn't understand because it means so much to the children.
Summary: The notes will probably be all about how yes, Katie or Aaron actually said dicklona because otherwise, she'd have to admit she made it up to get the crap past the radar.
