# 6 is a good family rule. We once took a small child to the emergency room for stitches because he had been walking around with a blanket over his head.
I can definitely relate- although usually my children don't listen to me or my threats.
Oh I love you!! I think my list would be tremendously long, because I feel that I am always talking to myself -so that makes it so I can say what ever I want, right???
So FUNNY! I constantly say things I never thought I would. Now that my kids are older though, they call me on the ridiculous ones all the time. Can't get away with anything any more.
#6 is a really good rule. In our house some of us walk around with a blanket over their heads. Sometimes people get hurt when they do that. You never know what's going to happen.
It gets worse with teenagers:
"Just wear the dirty pants."
"Can't you skip Bishop's Youth Council so that we can go home at eat?"
"Whatever you do, don't wake me up."
"Ketchup counts as a vegetable."
I can't print the things that I said to my son when he almost hit a farmer's mailbox (or what my husband said when the same kid drove into a ditch).
#6 sent us to the hospital once too. I so identify with #1
