I've been listening to a lot of comedy bits on Pandora lately, and this article reminds me of two in particular. Both comics love being fathers, but are amazed that they've ever had to say certain sentences:

"Son, please don't bite the dog." (Bill Engvall)

"Don't try to balance your fruit juice between your chest and the table." (Brian Regan)

quote:
They have nothing else to do with their day. They can put in the time to wear you down.
Truer words have rarely been spoken.

It's kind of sad, those years are leaving me. They're both capable of fixing or cleaning up whatever they break or spill, so "don't do things you don't want to clean up or fix" takes care of most of that.

I think the last such rule I heard about was "don't pee on your sister" (from several years ago when they were taking showers together).

[Big laugh]

I read this silently the first time, and giggled. I read it out loud to CrowMan the second time--and that's how it should be read. We both [ROFL] [ROFL] . He especially liked the rule of what not to tell the bishop.

I loved this, Gracie. Read it to DH and we both roared with laughter.

If you have to make grape juice by individually squeezing grapes into your cup do it at the table.
