Ask the Doctor

"Dr. Didi looking thoughtful"

Many people are confused about proper child-rearing techniques.
"Are we supposed to be their friends or foes?" they query.
"Do we make them do what we think is right, or
do we shuffle things around according to their feelings?"

These are good questions.

I can only answer based on the complete authority of

my Ph.D, my Years of Experience, and how I, myself,  was raised!

 Fly by the seat of your pants!

Go with the flow of your moods. 

If you're nasty 'cause you're stressed, or silly cause you've had one glass of wine too many,
be not afraid dear parents, nor overly concerned.
You're actually giving children a glimpse of the real world instead of some

fantasy la la land where they are loved and taken care of!

On the Train

Pretty girl takes the train

looking happy

feeling sane

Wrinkled brow, scratchy cheek

hair is thin

chin is weak

Eyes of blue opened wide

no way she's sitting

by your side!

a seat alone is what she needs
stay clear of her
or she will sneeze

and cough and hack until you fear
that you'll get sick
should you sit near!

PRETTY GIRL!!

The End of the Affair!

Pretty Girl with blowing tresses



Driving very fast

in a hot, red car

Pretty Girl takes a ride

but doesn't get too far

the street he took was narrow

with speed bumps all the way

in fact it was a dead end

and she was heard to say

"a Loser Ride, my friend

I'm really not impressed

I should have known better

Oh ya, I should have guessed

Cause...
your car is kind of rusty

and the leather - only vinyl

i will not ride again with you

my friend, the answer's final

so I will take my hairbrush

and my lipstick that is pretty

and ride the trusty subway

back into the city!

Ciao!
