New School Teachings vs Parent's Lessons
A Parent Using Creative Child Raising Skills
|
My son came home 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
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,
and get tattoos from head to toes. |
|
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 Mama did to you.
That's is just mind control,
And it's illegal too! |
|
Mom, 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. |
|
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. |
|
The 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 those Nike Airs. |
|
And 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 sack 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.
All the C.S.D. requires
is a roof for over your head. |
|
Your clothing won't be trendy now,
and 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,
and why are you on your knees?
Are you asking God to help you out,
instead of C.S.D.? |
