Rule #84

Rule #84:  It is not safe (or comfortable or possible) for you to wear your backpack on your back while you are strapped into your carseat.  You might as well stop screaming about it.

Rule #83

Rule #83:  Mommy forbids these things next time we are at the library…

  1. Screaming at the top of your lungs.

  2. Trying to escape and hide.

  3. Throwing puppets and puzzle pieces.

  4. Head-butting Mommy’s cheekbone until you make a bruise.

  5. Pulling down the bulletin board.

Rule #82:  Yes, it is round and full of water, but that does not make it a swimming pool.

Rule #81

Rule #81:  When I’m holding 80 pounds of groceries and I gently try to move you out of the way so I can get into the house to go pee and you fall over, I would appreciate it if you didn’t tell people that I pushed you in the mud.

 

Thanks, Sherry B.!

Rule #76

Rule #76:  FYI to the toddler…  It is not necessary for you to save up your absolute worst behavior for the following places:  the airplane, the middle school band concert, and grandma’s.

 

Thanks, Teresa S.!

Rule #75

Rule #75:  It is not ok to drop bits of leaves, pieces of twigs, pebbles, etc. down the bathroom sink just because “they’re small enough to fit in the hole, so it can’t clog!”  (Mommy would explain the flaw in your reasoning, but she’s too busy plunging the drain right now.)


Thanks, Wendy W.!

Rule #74:  When Mommy goes to the basement to do a load of laundry, it is not an invitation to scream, “MOMMY! MOMMY! MOMMY!” at the top of your lungs.

Rule #72

Rule #72:  Mommy is happy to play cats with you, but she draws the line at “licking your fur.” Sorry, kid.
