I read an article the other day about a family that kept having their McCain/Palin yard signs removed. They finally had had enough and since the husband was an electrical engineer, he decided to put a tiny shock on his sign... and a sign warning as such...and a hidden camera.
Guess what... 'little Johnny' came walking up and touched the sign and got a little zap. He walked away... with his Obama/Biden sign. Of course, he ran right to his mommy and daddy. And they got mad because their kid got zapped.
Huh?!
What ever happened to the parents being embarrassed that their child would do such a thing? Well... acccording to them, he just wanted to touch the sign. Yeah right. That's why he was holding an Obama sign. Uh-huh. How stupid do these parents take this couple for?! I get so sad at the mentality that's taking over parents these days. How dare you say my child did anything wrong. How dare you try to stop them. How dare you try to correct it. Just how dare you.
And then one day these children hit their teenage years and get in more trouble. And then wonder what went wrong. Well.... maybe if you 'parents' had of used discipline when little Johnny acted up rather than running around trying to bail them out and explain away his behavior, you/we wouldn't be in this pickle.

I TOTALLY agree! And I'm surprised the parents didn't file a lawsuit against the McCain people . . . and win!
It's another example of apples not falling far from the tree! When I was young I was taught to stay out of other people's yard and leave other people's stuff alone, keep my hands to myself, and speak only if you had something respectful to say. I also sat in a corner to think when I didn't comply.
It's a wierd world sometimes.

I should of also added: And.. when are parents going to start teaching their kids that when they mess with people like that, the children nor their parents have ultimate control over how that circumstance is 'received' or how it might be 'handled'. I've had a mother complain to me because her daughter got in trouble for doing something to my kid. Just dumbfounds me!
Those parents are idiots. Really. What do they think they are teaching their children?
Discipline is one of the best things you can ever do for your children. A true story. :)
