Drug Problem

[whitetailfan]

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 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. 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.

Couldn't have said it better. We need to get back to that old time drug problem. Amen. ;)

Great one WTF. Ain't it the truth! The biggest problem I have with it is I still see myself as a teenager but can't figure out where my peers have gone. ???

This was the favored method of punishment in our household. Until one day when I was maybe 10 & I bit the bar in half, chewed & swallowed, and asked if I should eat the rest! :o

My poor mother. ;)

I agree but with a little twist.  When I get up in the mornings and look in the mirror I wonder just who that ugly old man is.

WHAT?! YOU TOO? We gotta find us a better brand of mirrors, Olds. Maybe Snow White can help us out.
