Monster Makers

I have been telling the little story for years of the Momma was watching the marching band go by in the parade....

Her Johny was the only one out of step but her perspective was to say this....

Looky there, the whole band is out of step but my Johny......

Come on now.....

How can the whole group but one be out of step?

I had somebody tell me one time that nobody understood their baby....

The baby was nearly grown.....

I have had parents tell me that their child was more mature than the other 12 year olds....

Why is it that the same baby that was too mature to stay in the nursery at 2 is too immature to attend youth functions at 13......

I had a classmate in Bible School who asked if he could skip the first two years of the curricula since he already knew all that would be taught those first two years......

He is in prison somewhere today.....

Come now and let us reason together.....

Few of us are prodigies....

Few of our kids are either...

Rather most of us are average folks with average kids who dirtied an average amount of diapers.....

That smell was not roses either.....

Let's get real.....

All of us must take the tests and must pass them.....

None of us are above what the rest must learn to do.....

Face reality....

The band is not out of step but rather the little sweet one.....

Why is this knowledge so hard for some to understand.....

The reality of life is this....

Those young people for whom exceptions are made for usually become monsters in life....

And if the whole band is made to keep step with Johny somebody is creating a monster.....

Johny was not a monster until somebody transformed him....

He was once a sweet little boy/girl that everybody used to love...

Blogger friend....

If the whole world smells bad today, I encourage you to make sure you have no Limburger cheese on your own mustache......

Blessings....
