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 throw away.


• 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.
