I get it. Being a parent is hard. But becoming a parent is easy. Becoming a parent is so easy practically anyone can do it. However, being a good parent is much more difficult.
There is no intelligence test required to become a parent. OK, that’s not entirely true. There is an intelligence test, it’s just incredibly easy to pass. All you have to do is be able to fit a round peg into the right hole. And, if you can master that skill, then you can become a parent.
But, simply being able to successfully breed in captivity doesn’t automatically make you a good parent.
Step one is easy. Step two is where it starts to get difficult.
As a parent you have one job. That job is to raise your kid to be a good person. It doesn’t matter if the kid grows up to cure cancer or spends his life slinging burgers. As long as he grows up to be a good person, you’ve done your job.
So, if you’re a parent, there’s a simple way you can make certain that your kid won’t get killed by the police:
Do. Your. Job.
That’s it. I bet you thought it would be some complicated Liberal wokeness bullshit that requires you be more racially aware. Maybe you thought I was going to say you had to understand Critical Race Theory. Nope. The only thing you need to do to keep your kid from being killed by the police is to teach them to be a good person.
I’m not talking about the “good person” that everyone claims a recently-deceased person to be. You know what I’m talking about. We’ve all seen videos of the bereaved mother crying “they killed my baby”, or “he was such an angel”. No, I’m not talking about someone who miraculously becomes a good person the moment CNN stops by. I’m talking about an actual good person.
I already know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “I’m a parent, how can I tell if I’m raising my kid to be a good person. How can I be sure I’m doing the right things?” That’s a good question. I can see how in today’s world it might be difficult to recognize the early warning signs.
So, I’m going to help with that. Here are a few small hints that your kid may be on the wrong path:
- His nickname is “L’il Homicide”.
- You don’t know where he is at 2:38am.
- Your 13-year-old carries a gun.
- Your baby hangs out with someone currently on probation for gun-related crimes.
- Your angel is doing something he believes warrants running from the police.
If you’re a parent, and any of the above items happen to be true, then you’re a bad parent, you didn’t do your job, and kid is not a good person. It’s that simple.
Unsurprisingly, the family of Adam Toledo released a statement saying, “he enjoyed sports and was good kid”. Let me tell you something, their definition of a “good kid” and my definition are vastly different. And they are wrong. If he truly was a good kid, he wouldn’t have been running with a felon while carrying a gun at 2:38am. Good kids don’t do that.
If you’re a good parent, then your kid will be a good person and it will be nearly guaranteed that he won’t be running from the police in the middle of the night. If you do your job, then your kid will be safely tucked in bed at 2:38am, and he won’t be killed by the police.
