When you're a kid, you don't have much variety of experience. You live with your parents and that's all you know. You grow up thinking whatever they do is 'normal'. Ahh, what a day! Up at 6:00, a 10-mile run in the sleet, and NOW a big bowl of plain oatmeal! How I love the crazy hedonism of weekends! Well, maybe 'normal' is too strong a word. I think we'd know normal if we saw it. Calvin and Hobbes are playing with toys on the floor.
Calvin says when you're a kid, you don't have much variety of experience. You grow up thinking whatever your Mom and Dad do is normal. Dad comes in from outside. He says he finished a 10 mile run in the sleet after getting up at 6:00. He's going to get a bowl of oatmeal. His cheeks are flushed, and there is snow on his wool cap. Calvin tells Hobbes that maybe 'normal' is too strong a word.
