Who Kids Are These?

You pride yourself as a parent. Getting up early in the morning to get to work, then heading straight to class right after that. You are supposed to be bettering yourselves, but while you are focused and disciplined at the task at hand, you are failing in others. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand where I'm going. That's right, I'm talking about our kids. Today's parents are so focused on their careers, that they fail in the category that means the most, raising our kids. Providing your kids with a roof over their head, clothes on their back and food in their belly no longer cuts it in this cut-throat world. Today's kids need structure, discipline, respect for others, and to be taught manners in order to navigate this wicked world filled to the brim with age old traps set to curtail their futures. Self respect is also needed. To walk around with your pants to your knees, with your butt showing is not respect for ones self. It is down right ignorant. When I was young, I also sagged my pants. This was out of necessity, being that my straight leg jeans that I got from my cousin no longer fit. That’s not the case with these kids. We as parents, work hard to provide for our kids. Being that we are buying the clothes our kids are wearing, we can at least tell them to pull up their pants. "Put a DAMN belt on!" is how I would put it. So parents, in between all the daily tasks at hand, take a look at your child. If he looks like he is representing you, and you have no problem with him dressing like the pic above, then you are the problem. If it downright offends you to see your kids dressing like that, do something about it. Tell them what it means to have self respect. That even though it is the style, you look like a damn bum. You would be doing the universe a favor. No one wants to see their scrawny butts anyways. Ooops! Maybe gay men, but that's a whole other subject.

Please Help These Kids Get Back To Their Families.....

UPDATE: The girls are alive and well

We aint going nowhere..............

You see them. They are everywhere. If you have the privilege or duty to commute to work in the DC area, you'll see them. See whom you say? Our children is the answer. The other morning I was running late to work (long night out) and I was in a bit of a rush. I had to stop to get change to put on the subway. I stopped in the store and bought some gum, and the cashier seeing that I was rushing kindly obliged me with his quickness. I take off walking like a speed demon, calmly passing the kids who were standing out in front of the store. Then the "youngins" posted up in front of the apartment building. And now past the police officer writing a ticket on a disabled car. Finally I reached my destination, the subway, I look at my watch and realized that it was 10:00 am. "Wow" I am an hour late, better hurry. That's when this hit me. While I was wearing off the tread of my new casual shoes, the kids weren’t in much of a hurry. Quite frankly, they weren’t moving! Even with a police officer in their vicinity, the kids went about their business as if they weren’t breaking the law. I know the police have bigger fish to fry, but allowing the kids to hang out on the "block" while school is in session is totally disturbing. I know blame the parents, but isn't it the job of police to pick up truants? I'm just saying, what do you think?

For those who don't know, here is MPD truancy policy.

A truant is a minor between the ages of five and 18 who without a valid reason and without parental knowledge or consent, does not attend school. Under the Truancy Law, students in public, private, independent, parochial or charter schools operating in the District of Columbia, as well as students from other jurisdictions, may be stopped by the MPD for suspected truancy.

Now tell the Kids to get to school!!!!

Thanks, Anonymous for the deal!!!
