"Girl" Imitation

Son

Remember to sit up straight and remember what the teacher tells you. Play fair and don’t get into fights. Don’t ever get into an argument with a girl, she’s going to win either way. Eat with your mouth closed and don’t hunch over your food with your elbows on the table. When coming home try and remember to grab the mail as you walk home. Take your shoes off and say ‘hello’ when coming in, don’t just go running off to your room. Do your homework. Do the chores around the house and don’t complain about it. At practice do as the coaches say and don’t hesitate when they put you on the spot. Do something wrong, don’t whine about it. Get hurt, don’t cry about it. Told to run laps, just do it. When a coach asks you if you have bruises, don’t show em’ you’ll only get punched. Not the best on the team, earn your way up. When your beat don’t be a poor sport, when you win remember how it feels to be beat. Don’t be the cocky boy nobody likes. When talking to a girl don’t be loud. Be polite and try not to interrupt. Even when you don’t like her, try and be nice. And Always Remember, never hurt a girl, even if she’s trying to fight you. Be respectful to adults and the elderly, especially the elderly. When you see a dog or cat don't just go running up to them and they and pet them. See a snake on the ground, its best you leave it alone. Try and tie your shoes when you’re running,  the last thing you need is to fall on your face. Help your dad around the house whenever you are asked or told. And yes, you are allowed to play after chores and homework are finished. 

And always, always remember that I love you.
