A bad tempered brat from Nantucket Drops her phone, but claims that a thief took it The girl will not calm down Her swearing makes dad frown She raises her fist shouting ‘suck it’! The meaning couldn’t be misconstrued Her father says just quit your foul mood She says she trashed her phone - dropped it on her way home She’s grounded for lies and being rude 5/20/18

Oh, I wish this was true. Tell me it's true. So many children today do not have any consequences, and they are begging for an adult in their life who will set some rules.

Oh if only it was true ...We both have worked in education Caren and see the problems caused by student's not having guidelines to follow and good parental role models:-( I did see one student deliberately drop their phone in the street (not in school time) and it just co -incided with the release of a new i phone:-( no idea if parents caught on!!) hugs jan xx

Love rhyming "misconstrued" with "foul mood" - so moody like most teenagers!

And rightly so Jan, some kids today have no respect. In addition no Facebook for a month. You highlighted the spoilt brat syndrome well lol. Tom
