- If you ask what’s for dinner and say “yuck” after I tell you what it is, then you can cook dinner tomorrow. I don’t care if you are five.
- If you put your finger up your nose, it’s your job to properly dispose of whatever comes out.
- After you have gone to bed for the night, I’d better not see you again until morning. Exceptions for fire, flood, blood and alien invasion. In case of vomit or poop, see Daddy.
- Do not talk during Doctor Who.
- I am a grown woman. I will not sleep on Star Wars sheets.
- If you do not download the Radio Disney app onto my phone then I will not burn every U2 album onto your iPod. They are too still cool.
- If I leave my laptop unattended, do not write “I <3 Justin Bieber!!!” on my Facebook wall.
- Don’t mention my Spanx and I won’t mention how old you were when you stopped wetting the bed.
- Don’t tell your piano teacher I’m waiting out in the car because I have gas.
- Don’t announce that your brothers say “the S-word, D-word and F-word”. People don’t know that in our house they stand for “stupid”, “dummy” and “f*rt”.
- Do not loudly ask “who F-worded?” In church. Again.

LOVE THIS!!!
Thanks, Amy!
We have some, but this give me some really go ideas… might even turn our rules into an art project for the boys' bedroom wall.
Oh, Cariann, I must see that. Email me a picture if you do it.
At our house, the "f word" really DOES stand for that word that people say when they're talking about passing gas. It's dirty. I know it. My Mommy told me so.
That might be our biggest rule.
LOL! and amen 😀
You are so adorable!
I am SO busting a gut right now!!! Those are great!!!!!
Thank you WW. It came to me while I was waiting in the car during piano lessons.
This is fantastic!
Really truly laughing out loud on this list!!!
Love It! So funny! 😀
Thanks, tweet peeps!
Hilarious!
So funny!!! I am with you on all of them except the Star Wars sheets;).
Thanks, Kris!
NerdMom, I just can't handle seeing Darth Vader's face staring at me in the middle of the night.
I'm glad to see that a strict no talking policy during the Doctor is in place.
The penalty: Extermination!
Seems fair enough.
You'll get a giggle out of this

These are all very well-thought out rules. When my boys and their cousins were younger they learned to recite this litany before we ventured out in public: nopushingnoshovingnopullingnopinchingnoyellingnorunningnotouchingnoblowingnosmackingnofartingnoelbowingnokickingnopunching. . . They loved coming up with THAT ONE THING we adults would never have thought of.
Jane, that is awesome. Daleks have never been so cuddly.
Handflapper, I have also gotten that "you never said we couldn't build a Maylasian man-trap!" garbage before. Makes me wanna!
Thanks so much for the laughs!!!!
My pleasure, Tammy!
Love the photography on your blog.
#4 is my favorite!! We are big Dr. Who fans here!
So so funny!!!
I should not have read this at 4 in the morning. It's hard on one's bladder to stifle belly laughs. Just sayin'
Love this!
This is absolutely hysterical! I've gotta think of some house rules 🙂
Great post!!!! I need to frame these rules and hang in my living room!
Haha – love it – can SO relate!!!
Hilarious.
Thea
Loved it! Shared it! 🙂
Love these!
Thanks, guys! And thanks for sharing this!
Great post! I am so grateful I have the only 10 yr old girl who does not like Justin Bieber – The High School Musical/Zach Efron stage was more than one mom should have to endure!
I think these are all very reasonable.
I am nothing if not reasonable.
WOMAN! You have a gift. That was even funny the second time!!!
I love this list! I have a similar No Tatteling list that I posted! I especially loved #1
Thanks, Robin!
Echo, I'd love to read your tattling list. Can you link me?
Love this! So good to see a parent teaching real values, especially about the Disney Radio app, to their children.
Oh so funny and true!!
