FAMILY TIES


from the ABC set THE FAMILY WAY

GET THE JOB DONE

There are three ways
To get something done
I will submit
Do it yourself
Pay someone
Or forbid your kids to do it

TIME

You can fool all the people some of the time
And some of the people all of the time
But you can't fool your mother any time

DINNER SINNER

When you’re a kid and dinner tastes good
You can't have anymore. That’s the trouble
If it tastes like crap you have to clean your plate
And you’re even allowed to have double

MALADY’S

As your children grow older the problems
Change but don’t seem to go away at all
Instead of them being sick because of a bug
They are sick because of too much alcohol

I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE

I know this to be true
In the early morning gloom
No child will ever
Throw up in the bathroom
