OK, who’s been praying for more snow? It’s got to be some kid. More importantly it’s got to be someone’s kid. Here’s the deal: Parents, control your children!
If you don’t, society will have the Pedi-Police do it for you. Oh, there’s no such thing as the Pedi-Police you say? Then there sure as heck should be!
Lock the little suckers up ‘til they’re old enough and responsible enough to have kids of their own! That’ll teach ’em.
And how do we determine whether they are capable of responsibly raising children when their parents are so obviously bereft of these same abilities? I’m thinking along the lines of a DMV- type organization. Anyway, I’ll flesh out that concept the next time we get together.
In the meantime, if you catch your children flushing ice cubes down the toilet or wearing their jammies inside out or praying for snow, for heaven’s sake (and for our own) stop them.
Trust me, they’ll thank you for it someday—just as soon as they realize how close they came to lengthy terms of incarceration or grave bodily harm from curmudgeonly old jerks like me!
Well, I’ve said My Piece. We’d love to hear yours, just keep it clean (if you hope to see it online) and comment below. Or, take your time, think it through, type it up and send it to [email protected].
David N. Britt covers the interesting, offbeat and entertaining happenings that you would write about if he wasn’t already doing it for you.
