Parenting is full of funny, chaotic, and heartwarming moments — and no one captures them quite like Adrienne Hedger, the cartoonist behind Hedger Humor. Through her relatable comics, Adrienne shows what everyday family life is really like, from kids’ hilarious logic to the challenges (and joys) of keeping things together.

As Adrienne says, “When things happen that annoy me or frustrate me, I think, ‘Wait, this is a comic!’ And then my anger turns to excitement because now I have a new cartoon idea.” Her lighthearted take on parenting has brought laughter to families everywhere — and these comics might do the same.

    Our library switched cataloging systems a few years ago and the bosses were so concerned about our stress that they encouraged us to come in our PJs and bring a "comfort object" as we learned the new system. The only rule was we had to have a change of clothes if we were working the service desks later in the day.

    I had this explained to me by a friendly Maths teacher (they do exist!). She got me to write out the problem - "The number I am looking for , plus 3 , equals 5. " Then "The number I am looking for equals 5 minus 3". Then "The number I am looking for equals 2". After a few of those we agreed that I would be allowed to write an "X" instead of "the number I am looking for", each time. I think OP's Maths teacher may have missed out that bit.
