SMART!!!

(Supermom & Bratty)

My son came home from school one day,
with this silly grin upon his face.
He thought he was smarter than me,
  and could put me in my place.

Guess what I learnt in the Civics class,
that's taught by Mr. Bright?
It's about the laws of the land,
its called:
THE CHILDREN'S BILL OF RIGHTS.

Wipe that smirk off your face
Talking to your mom like this is a disgrace
Son I have the sorest temptation
to toss you out of the door.
But I'll take this chance to teach you a lesson,
for once and ever more.

Mom I've learnt you can't force me
I don't have to clean my room,
I don't have to cut my hair.
Nobody can tell me what to eat,
My freedom of speech is guaranteed.
Its my choice what I watch on TV. or what I read

I'll take some time and mull it over.
I cannot let this go.
Oh son of mine you must realize,
that you're messing with a pro! 

 Mom dear I can wear an earring in my ear,
And, if I want, can pierce my nose.
It's my choice if I so desire
to tattoo numbers across my toes.
 

 Son I'm going shopping today,
but do not ask me please
To buy you tee- shirts designed by La Coste 
Or coke and pizzas to eat.
I have spoken to the Welfare Department 
they say they don't care,
whether I buy you Bata shoes,
or a pair of Nike Airs. 

Mom if you try to spank me,
I will charge you with the crime,
and I can back up all my charges,
with the marks on my behind. 

Oh dear how could you have forgotten
All that I've done for you
All those times when I've stayed awake
And held you all night through.

Oh Mother mine now don't ever touch me,
this body is only for my use,
not for your hugs and kisses and stuff,
that's just another form of child abuse. 

My stubborn son I've cancelled your appointment 
to test your driving skills,
I hope by now you have  noticed 
that this immoral  road you've chosen
is all up hill.  

Don't fill my head with morals,
like your mama did to you.
That's what's called mind control,
And it's illegal too! 

You also don't expect me to  stop for you to eat,
or pick up stuff to munch.
I think you should follow my advice Son,
And make yourself  some lunch. 
  So what, if you are too hungry,
 wait 'til dinner time.
We're having brinjal and onions,
Cause it's a favorite dish of mine. 

 I have these children's rights.
You can't do a thing to me.
Oh dear mother
don't get so hyper
Let's stop to get a movie,
so we can watch it on the VCR.

What VCR?
I've also sold the TV in your room
and bought new tyres for my car. 

Why this silence my son?????

 All that's required of me
is to put a roof over your head. 
  I only have to buy your clothes,
and the food that you must eat.
The money you used to get for an allowance,
will now buy me something neat. 
No more eating after we shop,
no more joking along the way.
For I too have a BILL OF RIGHTS,
that goes into effect today!
