Rules

Today at lunch I had to remind Lash of the dinner table rules:

1. There are no animals at the table. When you are at the table you are to act like a little boy and not a dog or a horse or a dinosaur, etc.

2. Do not make any weird noises with your mouth because Henley Jane will mimic and spit food everywhere.

Late in the lunch Lash started listing off his own set of rules. It wasn't until he had made it to 20 or so that I had the sense to get a pen and paper and write them down:

1. We don't hit people.
2. We don't get messy.
3. We don't hit babies.
4. We don't get messy ketchup all over the floor.
5. We don't get water all over grandmas when babies or boys are in the bathtub.
1. We don't ever run a school bus on people.

(Lash: "Are you writing it down?")

2. We don't hit people.
3. We don't hit people.
4. We don't drop tater tots on the floor.
5. We don't shine flashlights in peoples' eyes.
1. We don't push down Henley.
2. We don't hit zebras.
3. We don't kick horses with your legs.

Although he would hold up the second hand, he always started recounting from one and never continued to six. He also included "We don't hit people" much more frequently than I wrote down...do you think he has heard that a time or two before?!?
