Like a Dawg

I'm always telling my kids, School is not a fashion show. That I don't care their friends think different. They are there to learn. School is a gift. They need to focus. They need to forget about all that texting and IMing, and every other teenage time suck I'm not hip to, and learn.

I showed them the clip of Coastal Carolina's football coach David Bennett today. From now on, I'm telling them they just need to act more like a dawg and get the job done.

WTG! I think far to many people want to be cool or their kids friends...It's our jobs to be the parents when we have kids.

You can be cool, and be a parent, too, right? I'm always telling my kids I'm cool. They either roll their eyes or about fall off their feet laughing, but I'm not backing down.

I say, "I'm cool. This is what cool looks like. Now, stand up straight, brush your teeth, do your homework. And, be like a dawg."

I just can't get enough of Coach Bennet. Still LMAO.
