4,323- Do not hide in the back of the wedding couple's getaway car and pop out as they are driving away.
4,234- Do not commit crimes. Felony offenses are particularly frowned upon. You know how in this family we do not wear our pajamas to the grocery store? In this family we do not go to the grocery store (and everywhere else) with a knife of improbable size tucked into our steel toed boots, particularly if we are minor children. The law may be confusing on this point, but Mother is not. Our family is just weird this way, and now all your knives are belong to Mom.
For other, more amusing rules my mother never told me I'd need to make, see here.
Love it!
ReplyDelete"all your knives are belong to Mom.."
ReplyDeleteThis. Is. Awesome. :-D
Committing felonies, not so awesome. Did he get in trouble with the law, or is he only in trouble with Mom?
Thanks, Mama Hen.
ReplyDeleteHarmony, grin.
He did not get in trouble with any employees of the State. He may wish he had. He got in trouble with Mom, with his uncle, with his grandma, with his sisters, and he still has to deal with his dad (there wasn't really time for Dad to deal with the Boy the way he wanted to last night when we got home as we had other commitments).
I loved this! My oldest son is about the same age as your son. I can see him doing such things. I think I need to write down some of these rules to share with him just in case.
ReplyDeleteHeh. One rule my mother never thought to remind me to make:
ReplyDeleteIf you have to pretend that your two best friends are Siamese twins, then *pretend.* Superglue is really totally unnecessary.
Love it. This could have so happened in my family. :) My own son is just now old enough to engage in such shenanigans. Sure we'll be compiling our own list.
ReplyDeleteI just love that you're up to 4,235 LOL {;0)
ReplyDeleteSee, this kind of thing never happened with my family.
ReplyDeleteWe did have the rule of "do not wait until we're out of sight from the house, then strip naked and run away from mum".
My sister and I did this on a regular basis.
I'm a firm believer in misbehaving children having to eat their dinners outside.
I have a boy with pocket knives so I went to your link which led to another link in which I discovered that in my state, he can't take knives to church and must clean them every day. I'll have to tell him this.
ReplyDeleteI have convinced him not to carry his knives into state and federal buildings as he would lose it and we'd get in trouble besides.
