My son came home from school one day, with a silly grin on his face.
He thought he was smarter than me, his Mom, and could put me in my
place.
HE SAID:
Guess what I learned in Civics 2, that's taught by Mr. Wright. It's
about the laws of the land today, its called THE CHILDREN'S BILL OF
RIGHTS. It said: I don't have to clean my room, I don't have to cut
my hair, Nobody can tell me what to eat, My freedom of speech is
guaranteed. Its my choice of what I read, or watch on TV. I have
freedom of religion, and regardless of what you say, I don't have to ask
your God for help---I DON'T HAVE TO PRAY. I can wear an earring in
my ear, and if I want, can pierce my nose. It's my choice if I so desire,
to tattoo Satan's numbers across my toes. AND if you try to spank me,
I will charge you with the crime, and I can back up all my charges, with
the marks on my behind. HE SAID: Don't ever touch me, this body is
only for my use, not for your hugs and kisses and stuff, that's just
another form of child abuse.
HE CONTINUED WITH:
Don't fill my head with moral's, like your mama did to you, that's what's
called mind control, and it's illegal too! Mom, I have these children's
rights, you can't do a thing to me, I can call Children's Services, better
known as C.S.D.
MY TURN!!!!
My very first impression was, to toss this boy our the door, but here
was a chance to teach him a lesson, for once and ever more. I took my
time and mulled it over, I couldn't let this go. This kid of mine didn't
realize, that he was messing with a pro!
AND AWAY WE GO----
The next day we went shopping, and in spite of every plea. I didn't buy
him 501's or shirts designed by Nike. I had called and talked to C.S.D.,
they said they didn't care, if I bought him K-Mart shoes, or a pair of
Nike Airs.
AND THEN:
I canceled his appointment to test his driving skills, I'd probably be
dead by now, if only looks could kill!
I SAID:
There's no time to stop and eat, or pick up stuff to munch, I think you
should follow C.S.D.'s advice, and make yourself a sack lunch. So, what
if you are too hungry, to wait 'til dinner time? Well, we're having liver
and onions, cause it's a favorite dish of mine. He ASKED; Can we stop
to get a movie, so I can watch it on the VCR? Absolutely not! I sold the
TV in your room and bought new tires for my car. I also rented out
your room, you really don't need a bed. C.S.D. says all that's required
of me is to put a roof over your head. I only have to buy your clothes,
and the food that you must eat, The money you used to get for an
allowance, will buy me something neat. No more eating after we shop,
no more joking along the way, I too have a BILL OF RIGHTS, that goes
into effect today!
What's the matter, are you crying? Are you down on your knees?
Why are you asking God for help?
WHY NOT CALL THE C.S.D.?
