I would like that as an adult that you read this first and if you agree I would like your children to read this and give THEIR opinion. It is very important that the kids read this and have a say. Hey! I'm a big boy, so bring it on!

 

The Yups and the Nopes

 

There is a place within the world,

so secret that only I know where

And I was finally given permission,

it's location I now can share

 

They live in a different time called Not Even,

a continuum we used to know long ago

Where ideals and imagination,

are kept in a constant flow

 

The little town is called Whatever,

and is surrounded by sound proof walls

You try so hard to listen,

but cannot hear their pleading calls

 

As a people they are called the Yups and the Nopes,

I realize they are unusual names

and all they want to do,

is to play their silly mind games

 

They all are desperately seeking attention,

but for us their world is much to small

Constantly trying to show the elders,

that one day they will walk proud and tall

 

If you have not figured it out yet,

it is our children I am writing about

And one day they will be the adults

the one's that have the clout.

this is kathy martin's daughter Molly im 14. ANd for the most part coming from an adult part of that is true. But yet not every kid/teenager thinks that way. We're not always thinking whatever or yes or no. We go through the same thinking process as you. And in a way your making it sound like all kids/teenagers care about nothing. But your right how we want to stand tall to show our parents one day that we'll be great adults.

Your Good Friend,

Hello Nick, This is dissappointing that more of our friends do not get there kids involved in knowledge, I saw your post my daughter was hanging out with me,i asked if she could read and tell you what she thought she did not have a problem, maybe you should repost it,kathy our kids should be heard

Hey Nick!

This is an excellent post. And I agree.

My boys are in school at the moment. The summer days of hanging out with me at home are gone. But when they return home, I will have them read your post, and let them post their opinions. (at least one of them - as I'm not that the youngest would understand the post)


Toodles,

Lisa :)
