Wanna Know What I Think?

uhsirI think a momma bird doesn’t get all bent up when it’s time for the babies to leave. I think a momma bird doesn’t get worried when a baby bird is big enough to go; and then goes! I think a momma bird has the courage to make the babies leave when they are big enough. I think a momma bird makes the babies go because if they stay she’ll go insane. I think the birds that dive-bomb cars are the momma birds that don’t make their babies leave the nest no matter how “unprepared” they may be.
I think I wanna be a bird.
Maybe I already am because I’m having unhealthy thoughts of playing in traffic.
I hate being lied to; especially if the liar is a child. My child. Hello? I will find out because I’M THE MOM.
Okay, baby'o'mine, maybe if you lie about brushing your teeth (or rather, NOT brushing your teeth) then I probably won’t find out. That is, until the dentist informs me that you obviously are not brushing your teeth because the gingivitis is starting already. Oh yes, we moms have spies everywhere.
But then you grow up and I don’t have those spies anymore so you think you can lie? I don’t think so, Scooter. I will still find out because I’M THE MOM. Age ain't got squat to do with nothing.
How about let’s make a deal? If you are a legal adult and you want to do something and you feel that you cannot tell your parents what that something is and, rather, you feel that telling them a lie will make it “easier” for them, then just don’t tell them anything. Trust me, a parent would much rather find out about something that you’ve done (or are doing) and not have known about it than to find out about something that you’ve done (or are doing) and have thought you did (or are doing) something else.
Think about that.

one mama bird to another mama bird
Date: April 18th, 2006 10:03 pm (UTC)Well, this mama bird was lied a lot by middle daughter, sadly. But through the years, though she lied and we knew that she lied and she knew that we knew ... now after all those years she is maturing.
Just recently, she said, "she was so horrid to us and can't believe we took all of it and not throw her out." She further said, " she could not think now why she was such a mean person then and is very thankful that we stood beside here all this time."
