What Parents Think is Best,
Sometimes May Do More Harm Than Good To Their Child.

Play Mates

I will not play with Jimmy.
I will not play at all.
He always says it’s his turn first,
And then he hogs the ball.

He tells me that I’m his best friend
And we will never part.
Then he goes off and plays with Jeff
And nearly breakds my heart.

Don’t throw away…

“Don’t throw away your friendship with your teenager over behavior that has no great moral significance. There will be plenty of real issues that require you to stand like a rock. Save your big guns for those crucial confrontations.”
~ Dr. James C. Dobson

Rules of My Game

Angeline — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 15:18:21 +0000

If I ran the school, I would change lots of things.
The lunchroom would serve lots of hot chicken wings.
The school everyday would be started at two,

and we would go home with no homework to do.
There would be no holes in my discipline card,

and kids would be punished with play in the yard.
I would let the kids teach while the teachers took naps.
Kids could blab on forever and eat ginger snaps.
And teachers who burp would be sent to “the loft”;
there would be no exceptions ‘cause students aren’t soft.
Because they’re depressed, give your teachers a hug.
But watch out, because you might be squished like a bug.

Typical Mom

My mom is like an alarm clock.
She wakes me up every morning.
She doesn’t go beep, beep, beep…
Instead, she yells,

“If you don’t come down in one minute, you’ll be late for school!”
