Listen up!

I have always enjoyed making faces, especially when I was very young (and I guess I still do..). My mother used to say to me: "Stop! do you want your face to freeze like that"! Well, that's exactly what I thought of when I saw this picture; imagine if his face really did freeze in place like this? Parents say things to their children for many reasons, but I like to think the one they use the most is to just plain teach them something. As for children, they need to Listen up!
The Webster Bible puts it this way:
"Eph 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Eph 6:2 Honor thy father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise)
Eph 6:3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. "
Now, if I ever could just stop making faces.. who knows...
