The Drug Problem in Canada > > 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, if I 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 profane four-letter word. > > I was drug out to pull weeds in mom's garden and flower > > beds 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, and think.

birddog Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: Drug Problem I have seen that before, and it still rings true: Heck, at 30..my dad will still "drug me outside" If I enter his house and choose not to obey his rules: I love him for that! Guess I too had a drug problem and am thankful for it. I wish more kids now days had one! If/When I have kids they too will have a drug problem!

Guest bronco_mudder Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: Drug Problem I like that alot. It is rather sickening to see how some kids rule their parents, it just shouldn't be that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion_70 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: Drug Problem That's how I was brought up.. Now you can't even lift a finger toward your kids for fear of DCF being called. I know I wouldn't want to raise kids here in Orlando.. gotta get away from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
