House Rules

Here is my version of the house rule poem based off of my fun loving teenagers.

If you sleep in it and plan on wearing it the next day, at least place it in the dryer to get the smell out.
If you leave your stuff lying around, it’s free for me to throw away.
If you eat off a plate, bowl or saucer, it goes in the dishwasher not on the counter above it.
If you take something, don’t make me go look for it.
If you empty it, yah right teens always leave just enough at the bottom to put it back into the refrigerator for the next person to fill it up.
If you lose it, don’t ask me to replace it.
If you break it, to bad it’s gone.
If you borrow my remote control, put it back before I have to hunt it down.
If you turn it on you better turn it off, because I will take your light bulbs
Just eat dinner without complaining that we have way too much chicken.
When opening up the bag of chips, use the clip to close it. Not the twist and smash method.
If you make a mess, don’t blame it on your sister.
If I call out to you, don’t shout back WHAT! It means come hear.
Yes, the animals eat and poop everyday, crazy I know.
