House Rules

  • Dessert comes after a meal, not before.

  • There is generally no dessert from breakfast.

  • Couch Rules
    • No jumping on the couch

    • No jumping from the couch

    • No leaving toys on the couch

    • Couch cushions may be jumped on if they are removed from the couch first

    • Couch cushions must be returned to the couch after they are removed from it

  • The cat is not allowed on the kitchen counters.

  • Saying that you have eaten a meal when you have not in order to obtain dessert results in no dessert, and a trip to the corner for lying.

  • If you take a toy to preschool with you after being told not to, that toy now belongs to the preschool.

  • No uncovered dishes of leftovers in the refrigerator

Leftovers

Depending on your household, you may want to abduct two of the rules from mine:
* Don't make it a leftover unless you're reasonably sure you or somebody will eat it before it gets forgotten.
* (informal rule) Periodically there shall be a Leftover Roundup, in which all leftovers or otherwise suspicious foods will come out of the fridge. Only worthy ones will re-enter the fridge.

The corollary to these is: leftover game pizza never goes in our fridge.

I allow abduction of the rules as long as they continue to consider this household a home. :)
