Boys will be Boys

i do not like guns
even toy guns make
me somewhat nauseous
even though my boy
owns every nerf gun
known 2 man

and i married a boy
from newton, utah
who likes hunting and
guns...alot

i am trying my hardest
2 convince my tender
hearted boy it is only
okay to hunt 4 survival
purposes only

while his beloved uncles
draw him 2 the dark side
and i think testosterone
and the griffin bloodline
will win in the end

no matter my views on hunting
my kids know
it is NEVER okay 2 touch
or even look at a gun
without their daddy around

i always remind them of
the time before they were
born, that one of their
favorite uncles
without naming any names,
shot a black powder
gun through my living
room floor

if you think that sounds
scary just ask my mom
who was on the phone with
me at the same time
the gun went off

did i say i despise guns?

so just imagine my
horror as i heard
a young child, my son
had just met that day
bribing him to go
get his dads guns

soon bribing turned
to threatening,
and instantly
listening mother turned
into something that
resembled freddy cougar
at his very best

good thing my always
calm and collected
better half was there
2 take control of
the situation

disturbed boy was
escorted home, cops
got involved, and hopefully
the little fella gets
the proper help
he desperately needs

there ended up being
much more to this
story, unfortunately
some people are
the way they are
due 2 sad circumstances

i wish i could
heal the world

one thing i know
4 sure is

me and my better
half will always
agree to disagree
on this subject

but we were both very
proud parents that
scary day as our son
made the right choices
and applied what we
have always taught him

and today as i looked
out the window 2 see a
nerf gun shootout in my
front yard with some very
fine young men involved

i was ecstatic to say the least!
