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: 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: 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: 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 #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.!

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?
