How to be a mean mother

I heard my grandson call his mother "mean"
I guess he was upset but really it is good
It means that his mother is being tough...
It means his mother is doing what is right
Teaching him manners...demanding: as is her right
That he tell the truth, obey her rules, listen up
If only there were more "mean" mothers and fathers
Those who teach their children well
Teach them about life...show them how to act
Show them how to behave and do what's right...
Stand behind their promises...not back down
Allow through love their children to learn
How to be good little people...good little kids
For in teaching them about life...
God willing as they grow...they will stay out of strife!

Found this paper framed and protected:
A mean mother never allows candy or sweets
To take the place of a well-balanced meal
A mean mother insists on knowing where...
Her children are at all times...
Who their friends are and what they do
A mean mother breaks the child labour law
By making her children work: washing dishes
Making beds, learning to cook and doing
Other cruel and unpleasant chores...
A mean mother makes life miserable...
For her offspring by insisting...
That they always tell the truth
A mean mother produces teenagers...
Who are wiser and more sensible
A mean mother can smile with secret delight
And pride when she hears her own...
Grandchildren call their parents "mean"
What the world needs now are more...
Mean mothers...and fathers...
