We learned about redemption from Snoop Dogg.

"Never fo' a second did I think to let my light shine
Hardheaded, thought I was grown, messin up
Disrespectin my home, not carin 'bout what moms what sayin
And then I found out that mom wasn't playin
Today, I love you for it, back then, I couldn't understand"

~ Snoop Dogg

Oh yes, sir.

This is how I teach my kids the hard life lessons.

I am a super Mom ~

I'm down with the gangsta rap

AND 

I can glean pearls of wisdom from it.

Ok, so that's totally a lie.

I had to Google those lyrics.

BUT....

earlier this week, we were listening to some random Guam station

in the car and some random rap song came on

and my J-boy says:

"Mama, I don't like Snoop's music,

but I DO think he's a good person now

because he stopped doing all those drugs."

Prior to the redemptive behavior

See, redemption.....lesson learned.

*sigh*
