Rule #118
Rule #118: Apparently the number of times you tell your child to “Be Careful” is proportional to how likely he is to need stitches. On a weekend. When Mommy is out of town.
When I was out of town a few weekends ago, Gavin fell into the wooden part of our rocking chair. Meanest Daddy did a great job handling the 6 stitches (with the other 2 kids in tow) at the urgent care clinic. Stitches were removed last week, and Gavin is healing nicely. I am almost recovered from being gone when my kid got hurt. 😦
Rule #117
Rule #117: No screaming & whining when Mommy accidentally sings Tyrone’s lyrics instead of Uniqua’s lyrics. This shouldn’t be that big of a deal.

Rule #116
Rule #116: That little space between the couch & the corner of the wall… It’s not a garbage can. Or a toy box. Or a hamper. Or book drop. Or a place for the remote.

Rule #115: Just because that rock missed your brother’s head does not make it okay to throw said rock at his head on purpose.

Rule #114
Rule #114: We don’t put chicken in our underwear.
Thanks, Jean M.! But I’ve been thinking about this rule… Was it a rubber chicken? Chicken McNuggets? A bantam? Jean also shared with me that when she made up this rule on the fly, her daughter asked, “Why?” and she had no idea what to say. Jean – Have you come up with something yet? 🙂

Rule #110: Applesauce is not finger food. Neither is pudding, ice cream, yogurt, or oatmeal.
Thanks, Lauren C.!
