How To

how to...

how to vex your progeny:

first, just try to be yourself
first, tell them your expectation
first, say what you believe
first, remind them that you're relation

first, be the age you are
first, act like you're just being you
first, ignore your own defects
first, forget what you used to do

first, hint they're not doing what it takes
first, don't allow for weakened moments
first, be annoyed at their mistakes
second, ensure there is an argument

how to rile your parents:

first, just be yourself
first, tell them your exhortation
first, say what you perceive
first, forget about your relation

first, just be the age you are
first, act like you're just being you
first, dismiss your own shortcomings
first, remember what they used to do

first, suggest they don't know what it takes
first, imply they're your opponent
first, be annoyed that they make mistakes
second, don't allow for their enjoyment

how to live with...:

first, let them be themselves
first, listen to their aspiration
first, say you believe in them
and, remember, they're your relation

first, acknowledge the age they are
first, remember they're much like you
and remember, we all have defects
and forget what you want them to do

first, assure them they have what it takes
first, allow everyone weak moments
first, be understanding of their mistakes
second, allow for their atonement

that's how to do it.
