Can you say "God bless mothers who drugged us!"?

Question

The other day, someone at a store in Scobeyland Montana read that a
methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining
county on the Reservation and he asked me a rhetorical question,
''Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?''
I replied: I DID have a drug problem when I was young:
I was drug to church on Sunday morning. I was drug to church for
weddings and funerals.
I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the
weather.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults.
I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a
lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill
of the teacher or the preacher, or if I didn't put forth my best effort
in everything that was asked of me.
I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if
I uttered a profane four-letter word.
I was drug out to pull weeds in mom's garden

and flower beds and
cockleburs out of dad's fields.

I was drug to the homes of family, friends, and neighbors to help out
some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the clothesline,
or chop some firewood; and, if my mother had ever known that I took a
single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me back to
the woodshed.

Those drugs are still in my veins; and they affect my behavior in
everything I do, say, and think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or
heroin. I wonder it what would be like today if children had this kind
of drug problem??
(copied from a forwarded e-mail.) I am asking the same question, how many folks remember this kind of "drug problem" and what would kids today think of this kind of "drug problem"?

Answer 2

Wonderful play on words, wonderful. I believe as U do that the country would be better off if Parents of today would be Parents instead of not trying to hurt their feelings, or more worried about being their friends & not Parenting. Spank that but. Put that nose in the corner. Be a parent and teach discipline, respect, manors & do as told. I know that U see it too or this never would have been asked. I bet that you & Ur mother are friends but U respect & thank her for how U were raised. Yes Parents need to (can't use it in the same tense as u did) (I got it ) be a drag & drag them where they need to go. Drag them to Church. Be a drag & a Parent & stop worring about hurting their feelings. I love this qyestion cuddos to you. I Hope I gave ya something to think about cause I agree with U 100%.

Answer 3

This would probably kill most of the lazy little ****ers today. Too bad there are so many people who think passive partenting is a good idea. I would have grown up to be a total **** if my mom and older siblings hadn't put the boot down when I was acting like an ***.

Answer 4

I don't think I'd have a problem if I was drug. Pretty much the same as I am living now.

Answer 5

AMEN!!!
I have 5 teenagers and they all have the same kind of "drug" problem.

Answer 6

Bless mothers who taught us proper grammar.
