Mean Mothers
Was your Mom mean? I know mine was.
We had the meanest mother in the whole world!
Let me explain...
While other kids ate candy for breakfast,
We had to have cereal, or eggs, or toast.
When others had a Pepsi and a Twinkie for lunch,
We had to eat sandwiches.
And as you can probably guess,
Our mother fixed us a dinner
That was different from what other kids had, too.
Mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times.
You'd think we were convicts in a prison.
She had to know who our friends were,
And what we were doing with them.
She insisted, that if we said we would
Be gone for an hour,
We would be gone for an hour or less.
We were ashamed to admit it,
But she had the nerve to break the
Child Labor Laws by making us work.
We had to wash the dishes, make the beds,
Learn to cook, vacuum the floor, do laundry,
And all sorts of other cruel jobs.
I think she would lie awake at night
Thinking of more things for us to do.
She always insisted on us telling the truth,
The whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
By the time we were teenagers,
She could read our minds.
Life was really tough and unfair!!
Mother wouldn't let our friends just
Honk the horn when they drove up.
No way...they had to come up to the
Door so she could meet them.
While everyone else could date
When they were 12 or 13,
We had to wait until we were 16.
All because of our mother,
We missed out on lots and lots of things
Other kids got to experience.
None of us have ever been caught shoplifting,
Vandalizing other people's property,
Or ever arrested for any crime.
...It was all her fault...
Now that we have left home,
We are all God-fearing,
Educated, honest adults.
We are doing our best to be
Mean parents just like Mom was.
I think that is what's wrong with the world today.
It just doesn't have enough mean moms anymore.
