When he heard about the possibility that Michelle Obama and the government nutrition police were putting the screws to Cap'n Crunch, my oldest son asked me to help him make his opinions known. Together, we made this video, in which he discusses the many upsides to the good Cap'n and his sugary manna. Pay attention, Michelle.
Good. Where would we be with that submit unquestioningly to authority mentality?
Probably singing *God Save the Queen*.

I was raised in the part of the country where we say “Yes Maam” and “No Sir”, “Please” and “Thank You”. Children speak respectfully to their elders. As long as your son is abandoning manners and decorum for breakfast cereal, I gusee its ok.
If you are rising your son to be disrespectful to adults because of their political persuasion, I believe you are taking a page from the liberal play book.
My son has decorum. He does, in fact, use “Yes, Ma’am” and “Yes, Sir.” He also knows how to spell “guess” and knows the difference between “raising” and “rising.” You have the right to say what you think, albeit badly, and I have the right to raise my child to respectfully question when those in authority ask him to do something that they themselves are unwilling to do.
Tip O’Neill once said that “all politics is local.” You can’t get much more local than the breakfast table. David reacted on his scale the same way that I was reacting when I first attended a Tea Party. This was his outlet. My contribution to the project was to point out the hypocrisy of an administration that asks my son to stop eating a breakfast food for health reasons when those making the demands are unwilling to stop smoking or eating short ribs.
LOL... wrong cereal :D
By the way, I take no responsibility for electronics damaged upon viewing this video :D
Aye, Matey! ;>)
Big difference between disrespect and discernment, Little N00bie.
Thanks for the share :) He’s pretty excited about how many people have watched him... to him, a thousand might as well be a million. It’s still a big number. I just wish our government felt the same about figures.
