More Advice

Hey, Poppa OneF - looks like the Obama Family has some advice for you too! Here's how to raise your child:

"If your child misbehaves in school, don't cuss out the teacher. You know I'm right about that," he said, and with the audience laughing and clapping, shifted into a lecture about nutrition and the plague of early-onset diabetes, with comments unlikely to turn up in the next ad campaign from a certain fried chicken chain.

"We can't keep on feeding our children junk all day long, giving them no exercise," he said. "If folks are just letting kids drink eight sodas a day, which some parents do, or you know, eat a bag of potato chips for lunch, or Popeye's for breakfast – y'all have Popeye's, don't you, in Beaumont? I know some of y'all get that cold Popeye's out for breakfast. I know. That's why you're laughing. I caught you. You can't do that."(link)

And Michelle Obama said not to raise your child to be an attorney or hedge fund manager:
"We don't need a world full of corporate attorneys and hedge-fund managers."
She might have been talking about someone else though. I'm glad they've taken an interest in raising your child too. Shows they care.

Why not tell them to brush their teeth too? He gets cheered for everything else he says.
