Frazz by Jef Mallett for June 03, 2023

Actually, it kind of depends on the parenting techniques. I’ve heard it bruited that the right way to raise kids is to love them until they turn into a teenager, then put them in a barrel and feed them through the bung-hole. When they attain their majority, you should drive in the bung.

I have wasted may fine hours sleeping. No more . . . want to take advantage of all I can.

I’m with Frazz.

I used to tell my daughter that when kids reach their teens, their brains melted. But not to worry, they go back to normal after awhile. But when I was a teen, I never slept past 9 a.m. Otherwise I felt like I wasted half the day.

I didn’t want to get up early even in childhood. I missed a lot of promising Saturday morning cartoons.

Life gets infinitely more complicated after you hit twelve. Hormones, attraction, and emotions all spin out of control and a firm but gentle control of the reins is essential. This why I am so amazed at teachers and their haste to “affirm”.
