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: 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 #43: On Easter, you may not scream and cry because Mommy & Daddy won’t let you throw the hard-boiled eggs. And while we’re making Easter rules, please don’t put any more M&Ms up your nose.

"But I wanna throw the eggs!"

Rule #41: Why didn’t one of you tell me ages ago that throwing up my hands and making it a “Whining, Screaming, and Fighting Day” would result in the best behavior I’ve seen in months?

Rule #34: Mommy does not like it when you get loose from her and run as fast as you can toward the men’s restroom at McDonald’s. (Thank goodness, you’re not strong enough to open that door!)

Rule #32: Trying to make you put your shoes & coat on when we leave the playdate does not need to resemble a WWF Smackdown. (And what’s the point anyway? You know Mommy always wins.)

Rule #22: No, I will not give you more bath water. You had plenty until you dumped half of it on the bathroom floor.
