Be Kind to Your Parents

Over the summer, Mackenzie, Madison, and Clayton took singing lessons. Just after our vacation to Southern California they had a recital. They sang a number of songs and sounded great!

Be kind to your parents, though they don't deserve it! Those are the words to the song you can listen to if you play the following video. The song is cute, and the kiddos are even cuter (but I sure do wish that lady in the front row wasn't in the way)!


Be kind to your parents, though they don't deserve it.
Remember they're grownups--a difficult stage of life.
They're apt to be nervous . . . and overexcited,
Confused from the daily storm and strife.

Just keep in mind, though it sounds odd, I know--
Those parents once 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!

Hi,

I have heard that song before and I really liked it. I looked it up and it came up with your blog so I thought I might have a look.

It was great I loved the vidio!
