Rule #35

Rule #35: We do not put foam letters in our brother’s bottom.

 

Thanks, Laura H.!  Laura also mentions that although her children are now 16 & 13 and bathe alone these days, they still remember this rule from a decade ago.

Rule #32

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.)
