Why Punishment is a Friend of Mine

Me: Watching the Dr. Phil show "Lolly come here"

Lolly: running up the stairs "what?"

Me: "Does that guy look familiar?"

Lolly: "Hey that's my softball coach. Are Alexis and Alaina going to be on the show?"

The topic of the show Troubled Teens: An Intervention

They smoke, drink, speed, pop pills, disappear all night and disrespect their parents all day. They are teens gone wild, and Dr. Phil has a huge wake-up call for them and their parents! Kimberly and David say their 14-year-old daughter, Alaina, has had so many tickets from the police, that she’s under house arrest. And their 16-year-old daughter, Alexis, is very manipulative and throws fits when she doesn’t get her way. How did their girls get so dangerously out of control? And will Kimberly and David have the strength to follow through with Dr. Phil’s advice? Parents, if you’re in a power struggle with your teen, don’t miss this show!

Holy smoke! Thankfully the worst that's come our way is a little back talk. This kind of stuff scares the crap out of me!
