Kids Policy: Moms Need Back Rubs

 

 

 

On Friday, I went down to our state capitol with several of my children for a field trip on how the legislature works and how bills become laws. 

My eight year-old son was excited, and  he had prepared what he thought was the best bill ever.  In a mock legislative session, his bill was read in front of the entire group, debated and voted on with amendments. 

Here is his bill: HB 6667

Title:  To Provide Love to Moms.

Purpose:  To obey God by loving their parents.

Section 1: All sons shall give their Mom’s back-rubs after dinner.

Section 2: All Moms should like back-rubs.

Section 3: All Moms should encourage their sons to give them back–rubs.

Section 4: It makes all Moms like their sons.

Section 5: All Dads should encourage their sons to give moms back–rubs.

Section 6: Back-rubs should be at least four times per week.

This law will be enforced six months after date of passage.

Penalties include:  Tickle torture for son’s who do not obey this law and a fine of cleaning the dishes every night for one week.

It was cool to see him in front a large group of kids answering questions about his bill.  An amendment was presented to include Dads.  The amendment was passed, and the bill passed 28  – 26, some of the Moms voted with the kids to help put it over the top.

Now because of my son, all Moms should get back-rubs after dinner, and Dads, too.
