Different drug problem

Different drug problem

The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and he asked me a rhetorical question, "Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?"

I replied: I had a drug problem when I was young: I was drug to church on Sunday morning, I was drug to church for weddings and funerals. I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the weather.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the Preacher, or if I didn't put forth my best effort in everything that was
asked of me.
I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profanity. I was drug out to pull weeds in mom's garden and
flowerbeds and cockleburs out of dad's fields. I was drug to the homes of
Family, friends, and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the clothesline, or chop some firewood, and. If my Mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me back to the woodshed.
Those drugs are still in my veins and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say or think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin and, if today's children had this kind of drug problem, the world would be a better place.

God bless the parents who drugged us.

Big N Blue,

Amen!

Sad thing is Parents today who did this would be Locked up like a common criminal!

Mother in FL. arrested last week for taking her daughter outside of a Wal-mart and spanking her for messing with stuff after being warned not to. Sad times. Security Camera shows the Mom spanking child, not beating her. But someone called Cops and off to jail the mom went and child to CPS.

Bad Deal!

Thats so true, the biggest problem in our country is parents don't hold thier kids responsible for the things they do. and when they do there in the wrong.

Amen brother,we try to raise our kids more like we were raised,a boy that came to call on our daugter te other day had pink hair!Hell i'm not even that old but that about floored me.

I'm surprised that any boy who would be caught in pink hair was interested in calling on a girl. Just be happy he wasn't coming to call on your son
