WHAT????? I'm so sorry, but since WHEN did it become necessary to ASK a child to something by an adult?????? When the children are clearly doing something they shouldn't be doing, you don't ASK them to stop. That is the whole problem with our kids today. There are no boundaries. They are CHILDREN. They need to be instructed on right and wrong, not asked if they want to do what is right??????? I don't get you AT ALL. Ask them if they want to wear the purple outfit or the yellow. TELL them that they are not going to smoke and cuss and be disrespectful to adults. Come on, have a back bone.
