This is ( almost ) art imitating life.
It started with a booklet of questions Kate would test Luna with. They were meant to determine a kid’s the level of intelligence. Luna was surprisingly good at answering them. Every time she got an answer right, we’d praise her for it.
As a joke, instead of praise, I said, “What?!… No daughter of MINE is gonna be smart! Get out of this house right now!”
Luna thought it was hilarious. Feigning being upset. I kept doing it. Eventually she didn’t like it when we praised her. She’d rather be threatened with eviction every time she got answers right.
Is this a girl thing? The ‘opposite’ game?
Anyway, recently Luna had the hiccups and I threatened her with eviction for it. Laughs ensued. That event is what this strip is based on.
On a side note…. I showed Luna this comic strip and she was very upset. She didn’t like that I portrayed her as crying.
“DADDY! I’m CRYING! How COULD you!”
