Report Card Day

Report card day. Conferences with parents.
So many children are surprised when the truth comes out.
The parents act like they have not had four phone calls.
They claim their child never acts like this at home.

They are ladies and gentlemen at home.
They have never told a lie or stolen anything.
They claim this with a straight face 
While their children are throwing things at their mothers.
