Well, Mom's washing is finished

Now, I'm not blaming the mother for what's happening in today's strip, but...I'm kind of blaming the mother for what's happening in today's strip. Her three sons (one of whom looks like a girl) all look pretty old. By this point, you'd think Mom would have realized that she's not getting all the clothes when she gathers them up to do the laundry. In any case, I can't believe she's all shocked by this development. (And I like how Al has to specify that she's machine washing them--no more of those pesky washing boards! This mom has all the latest gadgets!) And if she's smart, she'll just tell her boys that tough, she just finished the laundry. They can either wait until she does it next, or they can wash their clothes themselves.

I do like how they're all piling on at once. They practically have enough for another full load right there!
