These Are a Few of the Sh*ttiest Things ….

by

One more song from the 60s …

Here’s the “Martha and Ruth” version of “My Favorite Things”!

(Click on the video if you want the music …)

Notes from the teacher
And missing assignments
Counselors at school
Want behavior refinements

Cringing each time that the telephone rings
These are a few of the sh*ttiest things

Clothes are too itchy
And noises too loud
Gets really twitchy
When he’s in a crowd

All of the stresses that each issue brings
These are a few of the sh*ttiest things

House is a train wreck
And dinner’s not made
Schoolwork’s a nightmare
Forget passing grades

Siblings get short shrift and that really stings
These are a few of the sh*ttiest things

Daily tantrums!
Nightly meltdowns
Make us both so mad

Sometimes I can’t stand all these “Issues Kid” things
And then I get really sad

Homework is all done
And no one is screaming
Now we can have fun
… oh crap, I was dreaming …

Anxiety sky-high and nerves on a string
These are a few of the sh*ttiest things

Battles each night
When he won’t go to sleep
Mornings are fights
That make me want to weep

Fall school refusal that lasts into Spring
These are a few of the sh*ttiest things

Judgment from others
Who haven’t a clue
Their kids don’t have issues
So guess what, F*ck you!

All those snide comments don’t help anything
These are a few of the sh*ttiest things

Daily tantrums!
Nightly meltdowns
Make me feel so bad

Then just when I’ve had it, he gives me a hug
And then all I feel … is glad!
