Parents Dilema
Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2009 10:52 am
• My son came home from school one day,
• With a smirk upon his face.
• He decided he was smart enough,
• To put me in my place.
•
• 'Guess what I learned in Civics Two,
• that's taught by Mr. Wright?
• It's all about the laws today,
• The 'Children's Bill of Rights.'
•
• It says I need not clean my room,
• Don't have to cut my hair
• No one can tell me what to think,
• Or speak, or what to wear.
•
• I have freedom from religion,
• And regardless what you say,
• I don't have to bow my head,
• And I sure don't have to pray.
•
• I can wear earrings if I want,
• And pierce my tongue & nose.
• I can read & watch just what I like,
• Get tattoos from head to toe.
•
• And if you ever spank me,
• I'll charge you with a crime.
• I'll back up all my charges,
• With the marks on my behind.
•
• Don't you ever touch me,
• My body's only for my use,
• Not for your hugs and kisses,
• that's just more child abuse.
•
• Don't preach about your morals,
• Like your Mum did to you.
• That's nothing more than mind control, And it's illegal too!
•
• Mum, I have these children's rights,
• So you can't influence me,
• Or I'll call Children's Services Division, Better known As 'C.S.D.'
•
•
• Mum's Reply and Thoughts
•
• Of course my first instinct was
• To toss him out the door.
• But the chance to teach him a lesson
• Made me think a little more.
•
• I mulled it over carefully,
• I couldn't let this go.
• A smile crept upon my face,
• he's messing with a pro.
•
• Next day I took him shopping
• At the local Goodwill Store..
• I told him, 'Pick out all you want,
• there's shirts & pants galore.
•
• I've called and checked with C.S.D .
• Who said they didn't care
• If I bought you K-Mart shoes
• Instead of Nike Airs.
•
• I've canceled that appointment
• To take your driver's test.
• The C.S.D. Is unconcerned
• So I'll decide what's best.'
•
• I said 'No time to stop and eat,
• Or pick up stuff to munch.
• And tomorrow you can start to learn
• To make your own flaming lunch.
•
• Just save the raging appetite,
• And wait till dinner time.
• We're having liver and onions,
• A favorite dish of mine.'
•
• He asked 'Can I please rent a movie,
• To watch on my VCR?'
• 'Sorry, but I sold your TV,
• For new tires on my car.
• I also rented out your room,
• You'll take the couch instead.
• The C.S.D. Requires
• Just a roof over your head.
•
• Your clothing won't be trendy now,
• I'll choose what we eat.
• That allowance that you used to get,
• Will buy me something neat.
•
• I'm selling off your jet ski,
• Dirt-bike & roller blades.
• Check out the 'Parents Bill of Rights',
• It's in effect today!
•
• Hey hot shot, are you crying,
• Why are you on your knees?
• Are you asking God to help you out,
• Instead of C.S.D..?'
• With a smirk upon his face.
