Parent's Rights

My son came home from school one day, with this huge smirk across his face.He thought he was going   to be smart and put me in my place. He said I understand the law today contains a bill that passed for Children’s Law. I looked at him placing my hand on my hip, and said where did you hear that? My teacher at school, and he is never wrong. So I was a bit curious, and said oh, go ahead and continue. Well the law states that as a child, which I am, I don’t have to clean my room no one can tell me what to wear, or think or speak. I have the freedom of religion there is no Sunday School law, I don’t have to be a Christian at all. Shoot! Mom I don’t even have to pray before my mealtime. There is no law stating, I have to be moved out and gone from the home for 5 years before I get a body piercing, or tattoo. I can do whatever suits me. It also states you can’t touch me that’s including a spanking, or I can call, what is that again. Um-mm, Children’s Prevention Service, I interrupted and said don’t you mean Child Protective Services. Yeah, that’s it. How did you know? I can even have you arrested I will use the bruises I got on my behind when I had that skateboard incident. So don’t touch me, my body belongs to me and only me. You can’t even kiss me if I don’t want you too. I can watch anything I want, I can even read the porn section of dad’s magazines. One favorite thing is the mind control game the one you try on me all the time, that’s illegal and all I have to do is pick up the phone and call CPS on you. Children have rights too, and CPS will back us up with no questions asked..1

The first thing I wanted to do was kick him in the butt, and ask him are you on crack? But what I really wanted to do, was open a can of whoop ass on his so called “I am never wrong” of a teacher. So I smiled and said Gosh! Honey, that’s nice to know thanks for sharing the Law of Children’s rights. So let me sit here for a minute, why don’t you go clean your room. I don’t have to it is the law weren’t you listening at all. Oh that’s right I forgot, all of this was too overwhelming. That night I was lying there thinking OK! You little shit, you want to play this I am a kid and I have rights law, then it's on and crackin' you are messing with what mom’s call a Pro.The next day we went clothes shopping pulled in the Teen Challenge Thrift Store.Man! You should have seen his face. I told him pick what you want they got shirts, pants, shoes, and shorts galore. Don’t worry I checked with CPS and they said they did not care if I bought you Kmart brand instead of those ninety-dollar Nike Airs.Oh! By the way, your DMV appointment for your licenses was canceled too. CPS didn’t find any documentation; they said to use my best discretion. Your hungry, I am sorry don’t have time to stop and get something to snack on. Oh! I forgot, starting Monday, you will be making your own sack lunch. Your overwhelming urge to eat will have to wait till dinnertime. We are having my favorite Liver and Onions; it is a specialty of mine. Then he had the nerve to ask well then can we rent some movies? I replied, didn’t I tell you I sold your T.V. to make a payment towards my liposuction. I checked with CPS and according to their law all they want from me is to place a roof over your head. So I went ahead and decided to rent your room out, I need the extra money. So in fact, your clothes won’t be of the trendy fashion, and the food you will eat will be by my choice only. Oh, one important thing that allowance you get every week will be paying to get my nails done. I ‘m going ahead and selling your Game Cube, your Mountain bike. Along with that Jet Ski that you just adore to ride, and your motorcycle that is filling up space in my garage. This is what is known as Parent’s Rights it just took effect today. So hot shot, What’s the matter? Are you crying? Why so quiet? You were just laying the law down yesterday. I know what it is you are contemplating on whether or not to call CPS or getting down on your knees and beg God for forgiveness and hoping I don’t whoop your ass in the process.2
