Nation’s Moms Want You to Apologize and Mean It
Standing with arms crossed and a stern look on their faces, the nation’s moms gathered to hold a press conference Tuesday afternoon, demanding that all 330 million Americans “Apologize this instant!”
“You know exactly what you did,” said mother of eight, Lisa Lowe, “Now, I want you to march your butt over there, look them in the eye, say you’re sorry, and mean it, mister!”
The mothers called the conference in light of them “absolutely having it up to here” with the entire nation’s populace. Several mothers who spoke wanted to know exactly “who you think you are acting that way,” with almost all expressing confusion as they knew “for damn sure” that they hadn’t raised you to behave like that.
In closing, the nation’s moms said that they “weren’t going to ask you again,” urging those who think they are kidding to “Try me,” adding, “Go ahead. See what happens.”
As this issue goes to print, the nation’s mothers heard your lousy excuse of an apology, which they promptly rejected, before demanding that you turn yourself right around and “try it again. This time with feeling.”
