Rule #142

Rule #142: Please learn how to correctly pronounce “directions.” We get really weird looks when you run around saying, “We need to get erections.”

Thanks, Olivia S.!

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.

Day 1

Day 2

Day 4

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 #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 #101

Rule #101: When Mommy is cleaning up the mess from you climbing up on the counter and spilling the container of peaches with heavy syrup on the floor, that is not the best time to dump the whole container of dominoes on Mommy’s head. Not your smartest move, kid.

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…

Screaming at the top of your lungs.
Trying to escape and hide.
Throwing puppets and puzzle pieces.
Head-butting Mommy’s cheekbone until you make a bruise.
Pulling down the bulletin board.
