Grow Up, Bob
Bob got into trouble for telling Mama,
“I have plans! I can’t do chores”
and for opining loudly to visitors,
“Blah, blah, blah! You are BORES!”
Today, Bob is doing chores and writing repeatedly,
“Visitors are not bores. I respect them!”
Later he will, on command, call them and apologize.
Bob’s learning not to act on whim.
