Do and then Direct

Moms preach morals in their conversation

to keep their kids away from temptation

when kids mark their flaws with clues

their faces fill with faint hues.

Ethics end in a vague explanation.

Kids well described by this poem. Some of the excuses are quite clever. This made me smile.
