We end the week with a reminder that Lynn has it in her head that children actively hate the idea of their parents being happy.

(Strip Number 4152, Original Publication Date, 20 March 1982)

Panel 1: As Elly prepares to gossip to Anne about Connie's latest humiliation, she tells Lizzie to pick up the dollies she's playing with.

Panel 2: Lizzie's reaction is to roll around on the floor screaming "WAHHHHHH!! NO!! IDON'WANNA!! NO!! NO!!"

Panel 3: As Elly picks Lizzie up in a manner guaranteed to produce huffy letters from Janelle J or Jan C about how it's actually safe to pick a struggling child up like a sack of meal, Annie asks "Why the perfomance?"

Panel 4: Gorey-Eyed Elly growls "She's got an audience."

Summary: Since Lynn isn't good with kids and wasn't their primary caregiver, we're probably in for a self-serving Lynnsight that tells us "Of course children only act up because they want attention or to humiliate us; it couldn't possibly be anything else or I'd be a jackass and a failure as a human being."
