Maybe they could learn how to use paragraphs.

All things in moderation.

The usual parental response is "Then clean your room, the garage, the car, the attic, the yard, etc. They usually learn not to say they're bored ever again, unless they're really dense.

The lack of parent involvement, discipline, and family values are corroding the American family.

A good piece of self-criticism!

Cartoon Network has taken portions of our children away from us.

Whose fault is that?

The TV hasn't "taken them away" from you - you have given them to it.

My parents offered to find something for me to do. That usually cured my boredom in a big hurry.

If I said I was bored to my mom - she would say "If you are bored I have plenty for you to do". And that would usually be tons of chores.

If I have to hear my kids say, “I’m bored” one more time, I think I will put a gun in my mouth

Instead, you came to share this with us?

"Find something to do or I'll find something for you."

That usually worked for me.

Tell them to swallow 8 MENTOS mints whole, then chug a diet Coke.

Cartoon Network has taken portions of our children away from us

Which portions? Whole limbs, or just the occasional minor extremity.

I don't suppose you've a spare set of upper incisors left?

I always just tell them to pick up a book - any book.

Whose kids are these?

Turn off the TV and send them outside. If you have money, buy a farm, get some livestock and plant crops - that'll keep 'em busy and resourceful.

If you don't have money - sell the TV and encourage your kids to be creative.
