Cranial Rectal Extraction
Almost everyone has experienced someone who does or says stupid things. You just want to shake them and tell them to stop before it goes awry. Some times you are successful but most of the time the situation happens just as predicted and the person end up looking foolish or hurting themselves. Most people would say get your head out of your ass but in this world of political correctness, that seems too harsh. I prefer the more medical sounding cranial rectal extraction. It has all of the effectiveness of the original but provides a more dignified, professional tone.
One of my oldest daughter’s friends (that may be too strong of a word) has been getting into trouble lately. She is 15 and is what I would call pretty. I have heard that she has taken up smoking and has been caught at a party drinking. I would say she is heading down the wrong path and hanging around with the wrong group of friends. My daughter says that her home life is bad. Her parents either ignore her or yell at her and profanity seems to be the only way they know how to effectively communicate. I only have second hand information on this, but this is obviously a case of someone who is in need of a cranial rectal extraction. The question is who needs the procedure performed? If the whole family is dysfunctional, it may require a group rectalopithy.
My daughter’s friend was going to spend last night at our house. My wife and I were not enthused about her spending time with our child but we know that we have created a solid moral center and it may provide an oasis, if only for a while. My wife laid down the law before she said yes. She said that she was welcome in our home anytime but that there were rules and they were to be followed. There is a bed time, there would be no smoking or drinking while she was here. If any of that went on, she would not be welcome back and there would be no further communication with our daughter. My daughter sat there in a shocked silence (an unusual state for her) that her mother would say such a thing. It may have been the first time in her life that she heard words expressing love and discipline. I will pray that she turns her life around. We will try to provide an environment where she can see how families are supposed to act (I think we are relatively functional) and hopefully the cranial rectal extraction can occur without the help of a professional.
