DON'T CRY OUT LOUD
Oh, shut up.
Your incessant whining is driving me BATTY!
Why can't you just suck it up
and take it like a man?
What must I do to train you
to prepare you
for the harsh realities
of this cruel world?
How can I make you understand
that your tears are not manly
are not mature
are not acceptable.
You must learn to be brave.
You must learn to be strong.
You must learn to be cruel
and, my son,
you must learn all this,
it seems,
in the next twelve days
- by your twelfth birthday.
