RE: Confessions of a geeky dad: Weird household rules.
I had four rules while raising my two daughters:
- You cannot wear pink and red together-except on Valentine's Day... reason: when little girls start learning to dress themselves they invariably choose pink and red...which I do not care for.
- Mom gets all the orange penny gumballs... reason: I absolutely love the flavor of orange gumballs, of course my daughters got another penny but Mom got the orange ones. Years later I asked my daughter if she liked them as much as I do, she said she didn't know-she'd never had one. : 0
- You cannot change the car radio station if a Beatles song was playing. At about the age of 10 the new game became searching the radio for their favorite songs, which I played along with, except when a Beatles song was on the radio. To this day my grown children won't change a Beatles song.
- For good or bad, accept responsibility for your own actions.
That's really all we needed to get through the day : )
These are fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for. The gumboil one is bar far the best. She never tasted an orange gumball! Fantastic!
But tha rule in the family had bound us together
