MY CHILD
It's bound to happen one day, their going to take me away.....A wise and aged woman once told me, " whip him now, or he will whip you later." She read it in the cards, and so it began. I spanked him at 3 when he threw a pencil at me,(pants down in the middle of K-mart). He was basically a good boy, an occasional flip flop on the butt, would keep him in line.
This past year at age 11 he got his first taste of the leather belt. He brought it on himself, he chose to tell the lie. Nine lies, nine stripes, and we would do it all again to save my son from a life of crime , rebellion, or sin.
It's not over yet, my job as a parent has really just begun. He is at the age now (12) when young people think they are ready to take on the world, they want to grab it and run. If he crosses the line and I have to redirect his thinking, redirect his mind, you can bet your last dollar that I'm going to whip his behind.
It is my duty as a parent to teach him right from wrong, I'm the one that has to show him that life comes with rules. He has to learn about cause and effect, I can't just throw up my hands, and say what the heck, If I don't teach him but one thing in this world, I'm going to teach him RESPECT.
I'm closing this now, with just one thing left to say.....The future of tomorrow is in the hands of the youth today. Invest wisely, and you will reap the rewards.
