Last night, during Back to School Night, we met our child’s fourth grade teacher and spent some time learning more about the upcoming year. (As an aside, there was a great representation of dads there.)
The teacher had the great idea of recording all of the moms and dads singing a song for the kids to listen to the next day in school. I had never heard the song below but thought it was great and wanted to share it with other dads.
Enjoy and share with your kids!
Be Kind to Your Parents
By Harold Rome (copyright 1954)Be kind to your parents, and take this advice,
Remember they’re grownups, it’s a difficult stage of life
They’re apt to be nervous
And over-excited,
Confused by their daily storm and strife.Just keep in mind, tho’ it sounds odd I know
Most parents were children long ago, (incredible)So treat them with patience
And sweet understanding
In spite of the foolish things they do,
Some day you may wake up and find you’re a parent, too
