| DRUG PROBLEM  Cowboy Bob stopped by our place the other day all in a tizzy about our politicians doing a lot of confessing about marital infidelity, and drug use.
He said, “You know, I had a drug problem when I was young. And it was all my parents fault.” My mouth dropped open. He continued, “All during my childhood, they drug to church on Sunday morning. They drug to church for weddings and funerals. I was drug to family reunions and community socials, no matter what the weather. “I was drug by my ear to apologize 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, didn’t speak to others with respect, or if I didn’t put forth my best effort in everything I did. “I was drug back to the drug store to apologize to Mr. Ross when I stole that piece of candy. I was drug out to pull weeds in mom’s garden and flower beds. I was drug to the homes of family, friends and neighbors to help mow the yard, or make repairs on their home. “Those drugs are still in my veins and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, or think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack or heroin; and, if today’s children had this kind of drug problem, American would be a better place. And he concluded by saying, “God bless my parents for drugging me.”
