Give that kid a salad

It was a rant, set with a humoristic overtone. The problem with kids today is they have crappy parents that believe easier it better and dirty fingers are bad. They also believe the TV is everything a kid needs. I do agree outside activities can greatly enhance a kids health. Kids need to be taught respect and need to work side by side with their parents. I mean really work, not that let's go cut grass for 15 minutes, I'm talking about strain to gain type of work. I wouldn't say they need to do it everyday, but every few months kids should realize how much life could suck.

Parent - Here's a garden weezel go get the weeds.
Rotten Child - There's 5 acres out there.
Parent Then you better get started and grab a jacket it looks like it's going to rain.

Parent - Here's a shovel go shovel the snow
Rotten Child - The drive way is 700 ft
Parent - And
Rotten Child - That's a long long way
Parent - Yes it is, and your mother needs to go get groceries so we better get busy.

(not all kids it's a generalization)
