How Lazy are our Kids

In a follow-up to Spences "How Dumb are our Kids" thread....

I'm sitting on the couch this morning eating breakfast while the kids are getting ready for school. My son gets his coat on and heads outside to wait for the Bus.

The phone rings and my wife answers it. I hear her say in kind of a weird tone "Yeah sure I'll let you know" and she hangs up. So of course I gotta ask who called this early.

She says 'It was Andrew (one of my sons friends) he wanted me to call him when the bus came so he didn't have to wait outside too long" where he is one of the next stops for the bus.

So after sitting there for a couple of minutes not believing what I just heard ( I must have repeated the Phrase "You friggin Kidding Me" a 1/2 doze times) I say to my wife "Give me the Phone"

I call up Andrew and When he answers I say " Andrew, Get your coat on and get your butt outside and wait for the bus like everyone else, Mrs. McGrath is NOT calling you....Goodbye"

My wife has to worry about getting both our kids out the door for school and get herself ready for work and This kid calls her up to do this so he can catch an extra 10 minutes of the "Super Crappy Cartoon Hour" on cartoon network in the warm house....... WTF are some of these kids thinking.

I swear we're raising a Generation of Super-Pu$$ies......My God

I also told my not to do that for him in the future...I don't know what she was thinking either by saying yes.

That's my rant.....proceed

"If you're arguing with an idiot, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."
