Rule #26

Rule #26: When I said leave the placemats on the table, I did not mean GLUE the placemats to the table. The irreplaceable 1930’s vintage table.

Guest rule brought to you by Abby G. I’m finding this one particularly funny, but I’m guessing that’s because it happened somewhere other than my house.

Rule #20

Rule #20: Mommy does not like this sort of thing….

Mommy: Thanks for putting your clothes in the hamper.
4 yr old: WHATEVER!
Mommy: Saying “Whatever” isn’t very nice.
4 yr old: Why not?
Mommy: It means, “I don’t care about what you’re saying.”
4 yr old: But Mom, I DON’T care about what you’re saying.

Sigh.
