  Adults never misbehave.

  They’re never selfish.

  They never yell.

  They never cry.

  They never interrupt.

  They never say bad words.

  They’re never clumsy.

  They never make funny faces.

  They never lose their temper.

  Adults are never wrong.

  Ever.

  They never cheat.

  They never sulk.

  They never forget.

  They never blame.

  They’re never messy.

  And they’re never ever late.

  They never speak with their mouths full.

  They never burp.

  They never complain . . . especially about waking up.

  They never neglect their chores.

  They never waste time.

  They never litter.

  Adults are always good.

  So you really should be just like them.
