I am a mean mom. If you don’t believe me, read my list of rules below. It keeps growing by the day……
- Forks and butter knives are for eating purposes only – not for combat fighting at the dinner table.
- Do not proceed directly from changing the hamster’s cage to eating your cookies and milk. Please take a detour that requires soap and water first.
- Your lasso rope is not meant to tie the bedroom and bathroom doors together so that nobody can either enter nor exit.
- The corn stalks stay out in the garden, not under your bed.
- Toothpaste is not meant to be drank.
- Please use the front or back door for entering or exiting the house. The basement window is only meant as a fire escape.
- Limit the amount of water outside the tub to one inch please.
- To ensure the safety of all involved, we do not allow paper airplanes in church.
- At nine o’clock pm, the top bunk bed is not a good time to be trying out your flying abilities.
- If perchance, you happen to hogtie baby brother with that crazy rope again, release him immediately. Do not ask why.
- Try not to injure the dog, the cat, the mailman, or any of your siblings while shooting your BB gun.
- Please close the toilet lid so that baby brother isn’t tempted to drive his race car on the rim.
- Daddy’s earplugs and Lego tires do not qualify as chewing gum.
- Rulers, serving spoons, and meat hammers will not kill dragons, no matter if it’s a baby dragon.
- Please do not fill your idle winter time by planning ways to scare Mom with snakes next summer.
- Eat your sandwich like any other normal person, not into the shape of a pistol.
- And most importantly, don’t grow up so fast. It’s not that we can’t keep you in the right size of pants . . . it’s that my heart can’t take the fact that before I’m ready, you’ll be out of the house and making these lists of your own.

Love it! 🙂 Isn’t it the truth though,,,, they grow up SOOO fast. I can hardly stand it sometimes and tell them I want to put them in a shrink machine! We have found ourselves getting back out of bed on numerous occasions to rock/hold them becuase we know that too soon Michael won’t call out to us, “I want some one to rock me!” so, up we get and Marcus takes one boy to one rocker and I take the other to the glider and we hold them and cherish these moments; and more often then not, during those times my heart is hammered with the fact of how tall they have grown and I remember how tiny they used to be and marvel that they were once inside of me! I thank God for giving us this opportunity to raise His Little Ones!

Reminds me of what was found a Raymond’s house one time that was being used as chewing gum. I think it was a callus off of somebodies foot.:-0
