mother and daughter - Noah's Archipelago

Escape from School

There goes Noah, getting himself in trouble with Ruth yet again…

I think we can see why Ursula only has the one younger sibling.

Ursula’s motivational speaking style owes much to her grandma Agnes

Noah’d better get throwing because Ursula’s running out of patience.

Ruth’s students might have thrown paper airplanes and even spitballs, but they probably didn’t barf on her or ask to throw knives.

Ruth’s granny knows a cheap good time when she sees one.

Ruth’s mom laments Noah’s lack of a job and urges Ruth to “make herself available” for a cheating ex-boyfriend who is soon getting divorced.
