"Girl" Imitation

BOY

Living in a small town with a limited population of people. At an early age they expect young boys to act the same at home and out side with the town. Boys are veered  to the town as a young father.  When taught you either get it once or get out of town.  Boy look at your posture you look like a troll under a bridge.  When sitting in a chair be upright and forward, no slouching, no sleeping and no eye turning.  Boy sit up look at me when i speak to you. When you spit your liquid out aim for the trees or any nature close to you.  When approached by the opposite sex you will smile and say "Hello miss." do you have that?  If a girl advances on you stay calm and ask how they are and what they want from you.  Most girls in this town want protection or a person of comfort.  You may protect them but watch yourself too.  At school listen to your teachers they are the in ring parent of the building or room that you sit in.  After school you will walk safely home with two or more friends.  The friends you walk home with must live at least a block or three away from our house. If you get hurt, don't cry in-front of others do it here where you can be shamed by no one.  Every Monday when you get home from school i want homework done, choirs finished before the evening draws breath in this house.   When it's time for bed your mother or i will read you a story and tell you your doing great at being our boy.  On Tuesday i want the same thing done except you don't have to finish any choirs you didn't finish Monday   You will continue this routine until Saturday on this day you have our permission to go and have fun.  We ask to let us know where you are and what you are doing so in case of emergence you can hustle back to the house to tend to the house.  As our son you are responsible for keeping watch over the house while we are away.  You may not have anyone except family or approved friends over at these times.  Boy we trust you with everything and we hope that you are safe at home while we are gone.  You can always call us if your in danger or feel unsafe.  
Now my boy we wish to say we love you and we teach you these things for the future.
We love you our son.

  2. It was entertaining to me, especially the part about spitting. One part that didn't make sense was the line: "On Tuesday I want the same thing done except you don't have to finish any choirs you didn't finish Monday." I would think the opposite would be the case?

  4. This home and the parents feel oppressive. There seems to be little room for joy or fun, even though there's a possibility for it on Saturday. :(
