Better be good...
Santa’s watching and so am I,
He’s asked me to be his little spy.
If you don’t behave little boy,
I’ll tell him not to bring you a toy.
The Easter bunny is on his way,
You better do as I say.
If you don’t shake a leg,
I will eat your chocolate egg.
The tooth fairy only comes,
to kids that listen to their Mums.
If you don’t brush your teeth, honey,
She won’t leave you any money.
Your birthday is a few days away.
You want a ball and bat you say?
If you don’t do your homework smarty,
You won’t have a birthday party.
Parents are always giving threats,
playing on what their child frets,
Manipulating kids to do their chores,
or stopping power struggle wars.
Telling lies to gain control
When teaching respect should be their goal.
