Wacky rules

Okay, so I have shared my "I can't BELIEVE I am saying this" list of rules with you. I'd love to hear some unusual rules that YOU have had to tell your kids. Come on, add your post and give us all a laugh.

One of my favorites is my dear friend Heidi's rule for her son, Ross: No roaring at adults. You see, he constantly pretends he is a dinosaur - a loud and angry one. It is so cute and alarming all in one. ;) Well, I really wasn't that scared when he charged me.

Kids are so unique. I am constantly amazed at the creativity of our Lord to give us all such awesome imaginations and wildly different interests even from a young age. The list of occupations that Javin has wanted to be is amazing to me. Log truck driver, Chef, Computer Programmer, Inventor, Scientist, Doctor, Pilot, Dog trainer, Teacher, Musician, Roller coaster designer, Restaurant owner (He has a name picked out already and I am not telling what it is.), Worship leader and the list goes on.

Hi Angie, I'm not quite at the rules stage (little baby Miller is a little over 4 months now, sleeping peacefully in my belly) but I'll have to keep your list in mind! Maybe ours will be... no pulling the ears of the water buffalo. ?! ---Rachel Miller

Congratulations, Rachel! I forgot to add missionary to Javin's occupation list.

Lets see - no bodily noises at the table. You would think they would know that. I would like to say only noises in the bathroom but I don't think that is very likely to happen. We have the no peeing in the yard rule too - especially the front yard. I think a new one we will have to make is no throwing your clothes on the lights. Colton had tried to throw his shirt down the steps instead throwing it on a light, however he didn't tell anyone. So last night because I didn't see that - I had the light on and was working on the computer. I kept smelling this smoky smell. Finally, I think maybe it is coming from the window beside this light and then I see the shirt on this light smoking because it is burning. It wasn't really flaming but burning. Mike came and got it off and in a trash can and I took it and ran water over it. Needless to see the house was very smoky. A very important lesson! Karlene

Wow! Karlene, that takes the cake! I am so glad you guys found the shirt! That could have been bad, real bad.
