Bad behaviour is like a virus, it just seems to be infecting more, while the powers to be, keep coming up with new ways of treatment, while the root of the problem keeps on moving further away. Great Limerick, Mark, it hits the nail on the head. Harry

LOL, that's the way it is with some kids. My son's name is Johnny, but thankfully he's not like that.
