Brush your:
teeth—
hair—
pull it up!
No,
leave it
down.
Now fix your shirt.
It’s too hot for pants!
Oh, sometimes…
you drive me crazy.

Wash your—
face—
hands—
scrub those nails!
Leave your polish
alone.
No,
let me fix it.
Here’s your lunch money.
Grab your bag;
hurry up!
Oh, sometimes…
You make me so mad.

Don’t—
slouch when you walk—
smack your lips when you talk—
stand up straight!
Hold your head up.
Don’t roll your eyes at me,
young lady!
Oh, sometimes…
you make me want to scream.

You’re so dramatic—
problematic—
and stubborn.
You can’t make up your mind.
You do things last-minute.
You drive me crazy,
you make me so mad,
and I just want to scream!
Oh, sometimes…
I love you anyways.
