Parenting Styles Of Mommas and Poppas
Parenting Styles Of Mommas and Poppas
(or vice versa)
While the mommas nagged the kids turned off their ears
While the poppas bragged the kids listened with cheers
While the poppas slapped the kids cried out from aches
While the mommas clapped the kids reduced their shakes
While the mommas boiled the kids covered their tracks
While the poppas spoiled the kids gnawed on the snacks
While the poppas gaffed the kids muddled through lies
While the mommas laughed the kids launched the surprise
