Well, it has John getting hit in the face; at least that's something.
Panel 1: We join the Pattersons in the middle of a conversation; John is lecturing Mike about the perils of horseplay with toddlers. He's in full-on Captain Daddy mode as he says "You play gently with Baby...catch, Lizzie" as he gently tosses her a rubber ball.
Panel 2: As Lizzie holds the ball and smiles, he gushes "GOOD GIRL! Now toss it to daddy!"
Panel 3: As she gets ready to throw it back, he says "Toss the ball, Baby! Throw the ball to...."
Panel 4: She throws the ball back hard enough to knock his glasses off his face while Mike grins at the satisfying WHAP sound it makes.
Summary: Given the pattern of unrealistic behavior she's established, Lynn would have us believe that Lizzie beaned John out of malice
when it's clear to me that what we have is a kid who doesn't know her own strength.
