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.

Rule #47

Rule #47: No, you may not have a different crescent roll just because that one is wet. Especially since it’s wet because you licked it.

Rule #44

Rule #44:  When everyone else at church is completely silent, please do not ask “Is church done now?  Is Church Done Now?  IS CHURCH DONE NOW?!?!”  The more times you ask this, the longer church seems to last.

Thanks, to Jenni F. from Ames, IA.

Rule #43

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.

"Please let me throw the eggs!"

"But I wanna throw the eggs!"

Rule #42

Rule #42:  It is not necessary to text your parents when they are out to dinner with friends to ask what to do with the leftover Easter grass.

 

Thanks, Tracie A.!
