THE PARENTS WHO DRUGGED US
THE PARENTS WHO DRUGGED US
The other day I was in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and someone asked me a rhetorical question:
'Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?'
I replied that 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 priest, 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 the garden and flower beds.
I was drug to the homes of neighbors to help mow the yard,
repair the clothesline, and if my mother had ever known that
I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, my dad 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, America would be a better place.
God bless the parents who drugged us.

I drug my kids to their grandma's 75th birthday yesterday ... I know they wanted to be there.

At 16 and 21 it's getting difficult.
