Panel 1
Greg: So what did your parents get her?
Liz: Oh, I think they were the ones who gave her to L.O.L. Dolls board game.
Greg: Ah, okay. That one’s fairly benign. We’ll send a thank-you note.
Panel 2
Liz: Ben and Cara gave her a laser tag set.
Greg: That one is tough - it’s fun for a while, but Harper is gonna go CRAZY with it over time, and use the gun to just make noise when she’s bored.
Liz: Fair point. I’ll make sure we get both of their kids gifts that make noise next year.
Panel 3
Liz: Now, your mom…
Greg: Yeeeah. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think we told her “No slime, no glitter”, right? Like, those were our ONLY two criteria?
Liz: Right. And she gave her the “Gel-a-Peel jewelry making kit”, which manages to be both slime AND glitter. At once.
Panel 4
Greg: Let’s send her a CD with “The Rains of Castamere” on it.
Greg: And a note that says “The Deans send their regards.”
Liz: Wow. That’s… harsh.
Liz: But is it harsh ENOUGH?
