The world’s meanest Mom.
I had the meanest mother in the world.
While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs, and toast.
When others had coke and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich.
As you can guess, my dinner was different from other kids’.
My mother insisted on knowing where I was at all times.
She had to know who my friends were and what we were doing.
She insisted that if I told her I would be gone for and hour, I would be gone for and hour or less.
I am ashamed to admit it, but she actually had the nerve to make us kids work.
We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook.
I believe she stayed awake at night, thinking up things for me to do.
By the time I became a teenager, she had grown even meaner.
She embarrassed me by making me bring my dates home so that she could meet them.
And while my friends were dating at the mature age of twelve and thirteen, my old-fashioned mother refused to let me date until I was sixteen.
In spite of the harsh way I was raised, I have never been arrested.
And my brother and sister turned out okay, too.
I guess we owe it, in great part, to our mean mother.
She insisted that we grow up into God-fearing, honest, responsible adults.
