Get A Clue You Idiot!

Sometimes, I think that it would be better if parents have to pass some sort of licensing test. I mean, some people are not good drivers and manage to get a drivers license. But this parental license might keep the super-bad, utterly horrible parents from reproducing.

There would be simple rules to life after being granted parental licenses.

1. You must love your child!

2. You must be able to put your child first, (no matter how selfish you were in you pre-parental days).

3. You must feed the child.

4.You must wash the child.

5. Protect the child against all dangers. (That would be real or the imagined kind... because it's really,really dark in their bedroom.)

6.You must put shoes or at least socks on your child's feet. Even if this means you yourself must go without shoes and/or socks. (see rule #2)

Come on people! Really...? Is it that hard to put some damn shoes on your kids bare feet... (we are talkin' toddler child, not a smarmy 15 year old)... before you take them out to Big Lots? It was way cold this last weekend. "Can I see your parental license please?"
