          Threats
When raising a family
Day in and day out,
We all make threats
we’d hate to carry out.

Please pick up your toys
put them in your room,
Or I’ll do it myself and
throw them away very soon.

Do I have to stop this car and
give each of you a spanking.
I’m glad you stopped your whining.
That was good thinking.

You better cut the lawn, before
meeting friends at the mall,
or else, you’re grounded at home
and have no friends over at all.

Yes, we all make threats
we’d hate to carry out,
When raising a family
Day in and day out.

Yep, Melton - that's a Dad talking alright!
And it's tricky, trying to balance the give-and-take of love and discipline...
deciding where/when you actually do draw the line...
Enjoyed it!
