For Parental Units Everywhere..:)
One
of these days
One
of these days you'll explode
and
shout to all the kids,
"Why
don't you just grow up
and
act your age!"
And they will.....
Or
"You guys get outside
and
find something to do...
without
hurting each other...
AND
DON'T SLAM THE DOOR!"
And they don't...
You'll
straighten their bedroom
until
it's all neat and tidy,
toys
displayed on the shelf...
all
neat and tidy....
Animals
in their cages...
you'll
yell...
"NOW
I WANT IT TO STAY THIS WAY!"
And it will....
You
will prepare a perfect dinner
with
a salad that hasn't
had
all of the olives picked out
and
a cake with
no
finger tracings in the icing
and
you'll say...
"NOW
THIS IS A MEAL FOR COMPANY!"
And you will eat it alone....
You'll
yell...
"I
want complete privacy on the phone! No
screaming...
"DO
YOU HEAR ME!"
And no one will answer....
No
more plastic tablecloths stained
No
more Dandelion bouquets,
No
more iron on patches,
No
more wet, knotted shoelaces,
muddy
boots, or
rubber
bands for ponytails,
Imagine....a
lipstick with a point!
No
baby-sitters for New Year's Eve!
Washing
clothes only once a week!
No
PTA meetings or silly school plays
where
your child is a tree,
or
a little Dutch girl named Mena.
No
car pools, blaring
stereos or
forgotten
lunch money.
No
more Christmas presents made
of
Library paste and toothpicks,
No
wet oatmeal kisses,
No
more tooth Fairy,
No
more giggles in the dark,
scrapped
knees to kiss
Or
sticky fingers to clean.
Only
a voice asking
"Why
don't you grow up?"
And the silence echoes
"I did"
