Like a new puppy, kids start out all right. They eat cheap, simple meals. When they bite you, it’s adorable because they don’t have teeth. When you shake them, they make an adorable gassy face as their eyes cross.
Unfortunately, like puppies, they grow out of that. (Most of the time.) What to do with a pimply squawking teenager, what … to … do …
Oh, we know! Send them to prison! And just to make sure they don’t come back to live in your basement, sentence them to stay there for life without parole!
If you are a parent and do not live in Alaska, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico or Oregon, then your state has no penal code against sending your spawn to prison for the rest of your life. More than 2,000 households are currently adolescent-free (73 of which got rid of theirs at 13- or 14-years-old); why not yours?
And if the terrible twos are driving you to your wits’ end, there are 19 states that are able to sentence little Damien to life without parole. You may not want to make a man out of him, but there are some inmates who do!
Thanks to some meddlesome liberal do-gooders, this may be a limited time offer, so act now!

As a high school guidance counselor I learned that drugs, premartial sex, committing crimes, etc. are not the problems for teenagers. These are just the symptoms of the real problem which is disobedience to parents. In my book, “The IKE Disease,” I state that every student I have known that made it their business to disobey their parents suffered great hardship, without exception. At some point, in a successful person’s life, they will decide to do the right thing. There all kinds of helps for parents, school, etc., on dealing with teenagers. I believe the emphasis should be on teenagers doing something for themselves. Please note the word IKE are initials for, “I Know Everything.” Thank you for your kind attention to my comments.
God Bless!!!
