The Teflon Kid

Finding excuses, child’s play Just wish your mistakes away Never a rainy day for you Compliments only and trophies too You’re the best there ever was At least that’s the ‘round here buzz’ You hit a friend smack in the jaw Not to worry, no one saw Insulted your teacher after school Her hands are tied, that’s the rule You’re the Teflon kid we all love to hate You’ll get yours someday, just wait…

So many adults are like Teflon kids! I can think of a few but the biggest one is orange and running for president again! Great write Gershon!

applause and well said, Gershon. Teflon kid describes so many of my students in my final years of teaching--my hands were tied when insulted or even shoved to the ground. No wonder our world's a mess. Those 'teflon kids' became entitled, Left extremists. Yes, I said that out loud.
