DON'T MESS WITH MOM
|
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 sa y, 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 Mama did to you. That's nothing more than 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 know 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. Next day I took h im 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. 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. 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..?' Send to all people that have teenagers or have already raised teenagers, or have children who will soon be teenagers or those who will be parents someday OR ANYONE WHO'D JUST GET A LAUGH . I love this One!!! | |||

It was getting old and in the way.
It kept me from being me,
I couldn't do things my way.
They were just crowding me out.
Made room for my New Growth,
Got rid of my old dreams and doubts.
(didn't have time to read it anyway).
Replaced it with New Goals,
Started reading it today.
(remember how I treasured them so)?
Got me a NEW PHILOSOPHY too,
Threw out the one from long ago.
Called I CAN, I WILL, and I MUST.
Threw out I might, I think and I ought.
WOW, You should've seen the dust.
Haven't seen him in a while.
I believe his name is GOD,
Yes, I really like His style.
And added some thing's Himself.
Like PRAYER, HOPE and FAITH,
Yes I placed them right on the shelf.
And placed it at the front door.
I FOUND IT - its called PEACE.
Nothing gets me down anymore.
Looks good around the place.
For things like Worry and Trouble
There just isn't any place.
Get rid of the old things on the shelf.
It sure makes things brighter,
Maybe you should TRY IT YOURSELF.
Its Breast Cancer Awareness Month. How many people do you know that have been touched by the disease?
Submitted by Karen.
I have a friend and my grandmother who was touched by breast cancer. I make sure I get checked every year and you should always check yourself when you're in the shower. Put your arm up and feel around your breasts to see if you feel any lumps. If you feel anything that doesn't feel right, call your doctor and make an appt. to see them. It's better to check and be safe than sorry.
