Yes Mom!

Before I released my son down the street to play this afternoon, I gave him this list of instructions:

1. Say please and thank you while you’re there
2. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all
3. Please don’t whine and stomp when I call you home
4. Don’t hang the hamster upside down and put it under the faucet

Oh, the things you have to remind children not to do….
