“Like Father, Like Son”, by Matt Kelley
My son really had to go,
but we were on the expressway,
I had to tell him “NO!”
We were on the express way!
He cried and screamed in a fit of rage,
So I finally gave in and pulled over,
I figured he was now the right age,
So I told him to get out and just go’fer,
He looked at me and said, “No way!”
Gasp! This was my moment, I thought,
Something only a dad could teach his son!
I took in a long breath hoping not to get caught,
and, yes, I showed him how it was done,
Like father, like son it was his turn to go!
I proudly stood waiting as he got set,
He adjusted his pants and looked at me slow,
then stopped and cried, “I want a toilet!”
We were on the expressway…
Absolutely hysterical- even though I don’t have a son, a failed parenting attempt to teach something new definitely resonated. Loved this so much- well done!

You see, there are corn fields along the interstate in Illinois! We were successful at that teaching opportunity, weren’t we Sammy…
