It’s True. I managed to walk into DTIBA’s house while he was having trouble sleeping. Then I shot a dart him in his diaper and he slept through the whole night.
That one crosses a line. Also, you look kind of daft when you make two replies to the same comment that are not demonstrably a grammatical/spelling/word-misuse correction of your initial.
Or “smashing” the car and getting IT pregnant.
Or impregnating the smashed car. Or getting pregnant from being smashed by a car. Truly, the life of a teenager is fraught with peril.
Funny – I was at a friend’s place last night and Twin #2 was screaming her head off at bedtime, and the discussion of sedatives for children came up (jokingly, I think). Very topical for the day. 🙂
Ooh, right in the diaper. Although now that I think about it, shooting him in the diaper probably isnt the best spot for a tranquilizer dart. You probably wanted to shoot a little higher up to get direct skin contact.
Best advice I can give is have bedtime cast in stone for all kids from the earliest days – eventually they get programmed to sleep then. I’d call bedtime and you’d see them start to switch over to sleepy time. Read them a story, sing a song, then *poof* asleep. I don’t know how parents that vary bedtime survive – chloroform?
We’d like a similar product for cats, possibly called CatNap, to be deployed in the small hours of the night, or around dawn when they think it’s breakfast time.
It gets better. I mean, not for like another year but eventually it does.
>> It gets better. I mean, not for like another eighteen* years* but eventually it does.
Fixed that for you 😉
Just because YOU can’t sleep when your kid is less than 18 doesn’t mean everyone is such a light sleeper.
It’s True. I broke into DTIBA’s house and held a party there. He slept through the whole event.

We don’t have kids but aren’t you still kept up when they’re 18, worrying if they’re smashing the car and getting pregnant, or both at once?

I think the last panel would be funnier if the characters were switched
(that is, if she talked before him)
I love how Bug doesn’t even hesitate to tranq himself once the kid’s asleep.

After being up until midnight with one kid, then being woken up at 2 am by the others, YES!!!!! If you find one, let me know!!
Not sure about tranq darts, but parents have used Benadryl to make sure their children sleep on airplanes.

CatNap! (Not, under any circumstances, to be confused with catnip)
Look for it in your local Mexican drug store.
You ARE less crabby when you are well-rested, Adam. 🙂
I admire you for still keeping up with a Monday Wednesday Friday schedule for your comic strip even though you are tired.
Those sleepless nights are perfect for podcasting
