Home > Different drug problem….

Different drug problem….

September 1, 2010 by vleeson Leave a Comment

The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a meth lab had been found in an old farmhouse in an adjoining town & he asked this rhetorical question, “Why didn’t we have a drug problem when we were growing up?”

I replied; I had a drug problem when I was young: I was drug to church on Sunday morning. I was drug to church for weddings and funerals. I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the weather.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults. I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of a teacher or preacher, or if I didn’t put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me.
I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profanity. I was drug out to pull weeds in mom’s garden and flower beds and cockelburs out of dad’s fields. I was drug to the homes of family, friends, and neighbors to help our some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the clothesline, or chop some firewood, and if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me back to the woodshed!
Those drugs are still in my veins and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, or think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin; and if today’s children had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better place.
God bless the parents who drugged us!!
