Turn Off the TV! My father gets quiet mad at me; my mother gets upsetwhen they catch me watching our new television set My father yells “turn that thing off!” Mom says “it’s time to study. ” I’d rather watch my favorite TV show with my best buddy. I sneak down after homework & turn the set on low. But when she sees me watching it. my mother yells out, “No!”

Dad says, “If you don’t turn it off, I’ll hang it from a tree!” I rather doubt he’ll do it, ‘cause he watches more than me. He watches sports all weekend, and weekday evenings too, while munching chips & pretzelsthe room looks like a zoo. So if he ever got the nerve to hang it from a tree, he’d spend a lot of time up therewatching it with me. - Bruce Lansky
