The Guest

A friend of ours ask us to take her boyfriend in because his mother wants to throw him in jail. I was kind of glad to do it. I can't imagine how many bad teens are out there in the world, killing animals, themselves, others and she wants to throw her normal kid in jail for not coming home on time. I really think that most of the problems with today's youth is their parents being lazy or not caring enough or being too stubborn in the old fashion forms of parenting. Why can't these parent's open their eyes and look at the world around them and notice what polite and respectful children they have and just be happy about it. The friend who asked us the favor is herself a friendly outgoing girl who's father has them so tightly under his thumb they aren't allowed to leave the house when he's home. Luckily, he is a trucker and his visits home aren't as often as they could be. Still can't he realize, can't a lot of these parent's realize that their children are beautiful, miraculous, street smart creatures who know the difference between right and wrong?
Goddess give me the strength to know when my kids are capable.
