Rule #57

Rule #57:  You may not eat the candy that you find on the ground at the park.  And when Mommy says, “SPIT IT OUT!” you are expected to obey & not just chew faster.

Thanks, Renee C.!

Rule #56:  Maybe you should get to know the electrician a little bit better before screaming, “I love you, Chad!!!!” over and over when he walks in the door.

Rule #53

Rule #53 (not really a rule; just something crazy I found myself saying today): 

No, there are no pits in the brownies. 

OMG, my kid thinks that brownies are a type of fruit or vegetable!  Sigh.

Rule #52:  Mommy does not like this sort of thing…

“Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!”

“Yes?”

“Never mind.”

Rule #50

Rule #50:  All Mommy wants for her birthday is…

  • Long afternoon naps for the children

  • All the loud toys to run out of batteries

  • Lunch with my friends somewhere other than the McDonald’s Playplace

  • No whining

Is that too much to ask?

Rule #49

Rule #49:  Mommy doesn’t like it when you bolt at the store, she catches up to you, & you fall on the floor on purpose, making others think she’s pushed you over.

Rule #48

Rule #48 (for the spouse):  It is unrealistic to give your kid a giant basket full of candy at 6am on Easter morning and expect him not to want any of it until “snack time.”

 

Thanks to Carrie for authoring this rule and Corey for creating the need for it.
