You Are the Reason

She pulled up in front of her daughters Jr. High, it was time for practice to be over, and go home for the night. She saw in a distance her daughter walking with friends, smoke was trailing, and blowing in the wind. "I know I am not seeing this, she has been told," said mom, "this is the last time, so now her twirling will have to go." The fit she pitched could be heard for miles, but her mom was determined to punish her child. "OK mom, we must have a truce," "for I'm doing exactly the same thing,you do."
