Misbehaved Kids At Church

Bouter Mongoose,
At what point did a bunch of today's young parents become idiots? For example, there's this girl at church that has the cryin-est baby you ever heard in your life. This kid squalls all during the service and his mama just grins like it's all ok. I know you can't keep kids from crying, but take them OUT! When he ain't crying, he's running around all over the church house...the preacher almost ran over him once! Everybody in the place has about broke their necks doing the turn-around-and-stare, but it don't do no good. I think somebody ought to say something to her but my wife says let it go. WWMD? (What Would Mongoose Do?)


Dear Proud (Not To Be The) Parent,

My kids got some PlayDough for Christmas this year. After threatening to smack the giver, I watched my kids shape and mold it to any shape they desired. Another thing I noticed was the demonic dough had a shape when it came out of the package.  They had the option of leaving it in its natural state if they chose, but instead tried to make it into what they envisioned it to become. There is your metaphor for the day. Don't blame the dough if it doesn't become a work of art destined to be admired. Blame the sculptor.  One of the quickest way to make an enemy is to tell someone else how to raise their kids. Just pray your preacher preaches from Proverbs chapter 13 next Sunday. 


We'll See Ya,
Mongoose
