House Rules

while the kids were home over the holidays, Z girl decided to make a list of our house rules. she also made a chart to track who broke the rules. the idea must have came from school since the kids are told about school rules, and the teachers have systems in place to reward the children for following the rules. what's funny is that we actually didn't have that many stated rules at home. she thought up quite a few of them. and as time went on, she kept adding to the list of rules. at last count, there are 17 rules. the kids kept marking X's on each other's chart that they ran out of room in just a few days.
