Boy


This is how you bait a hook and how you shoot a gun. This is how you throw a baseball, here is your mitt. Hug your parents and call your grandparents at least once a week. Don't listen to loud music and treat girls with respect. Don't be the player you see on those MTV shows. This is how you drive a manual, and this is how you drive on the back roads. Don't drive too fast around this corner at dusk, the sunset will blind you and you'll drive into the ditch. You will not have tinted windows, not like those players on MTV. Put your dishes in the dishwasher after you have rinsed them. Sit up straight don't slouch like that, people will mistake you for a player. Listen when someone is talking to you. Bring a  woman flowers as often as you can. Be honest with your words and try to make it to church on Sundays. This is how you iron your shirts and take some respect into how you look. Remember we are Seahawk fans, if you wear anything with a Steelers logo, I will know that you became a player I did not raise you to be.

  1. There's a real sensibility that pop culture plays a role in this family. We get this with all the MTV references. I suppose it could also indicate that the parent is out of touch, since MTV isn't all that popular with the young folks these days.
