Rules that don't surprise me

These are things I have caught my boys doing and have had to tell them not to do. On one hand, nothing surprises me at this point and on the other I often think "C'mon isn't this obvious? Do I have to make a rule about this? "

Don't put the fly swatter in your mouth.
Don't pee or poop outside.
Don't encourage your brother to pee or poop outside.
Don't spit food on the floor.
Don't throw half eaten apples down the window well.
Keep your hands out of your underwear.
Don't go outside naked.
Don't drink the freezer jam from the container.
Don't dig out your gum or any gum for that matter from the trash.
Don't suck on the toothpaste tube.
Don't put your chewed up food on my plate.
The pee goes in the toilet, not around it.
If you drop your toothbrush by the toilet, don't put it in your mouth.
Don't drink from the dog's water bowl.
Don't pee in the basement drain.
Don't spit water on your brother's face.
Don't spit off the railing.
Don't put your feet on your brother's face.
Don't wipe your hands or your nose on my pants.
Don't put paper in your cereal.

Oh man. We have funny rules like that too. You would think that when they scream and cry that one of their siblings did it to them, you would think they wouldn't want to do it to others...but they do. Go figure. Thanks for the good laugh. It is so funny to have them all listed out like this. THe rules just seem so much funnier this way.

I laughed so much when I read your list. My kids have done everything on that list. All week when we have to make another rule I think of your list. Here are two more. Don't lick the door at the store. I don't care if you are playing predator-You can't drown your brother.
