When my boys were young and still in school

They thought at first their mama was a fool.

My eldest the troublemaker was he,

Was called to the principles office one too

many times you see.

As punishment mother would have to "Shadow"

him at school. Mama weren't no fool.

I showed up in the nastiest raggedy clothes I could find, my shoes didn't match, my hair was nasty looking and I blacked out my front teeth.

Plus I put a little bit of deer scent on me so I would have a lovely musky smell.

My son was in the 8th grade right at the embarrassment age!

I made darn sure that I would not be making a return performance. Think of Lucille Ball in one of her schemes and that was me that day!

My younger sons learned from that day also.

Never underestimate the power of a mother who has a good imagination!
