Mum's Crazy but Fun Rules

Here is a list of some Rules that Mum has made up along the way. Some we do and others we have no idea where she gets them from!

1. Chewing gum when you're seven.

2. Eye-shadow when you're thirteen.

3. Lipstick and Lip-gloss have got earlier and earlier, it's now three!

4. MACSCARA WHEN YOU'RE SIXTEEN.

5. Bubble Gum when you're ten.

6. Girls only may get their ears pierced at fourteen.

7. Alcoholic beverages. Hmmmmmm! Depends on the situation. A little glass of wine maybe for some of us but as for cans of beer and lager, Mum doesn't like them.

8. Tattoos when you're eighty or when Mum turns eighty!

9. No Motorbikes until your fifty - five!

10. Driving seventeen to eighteen.

11. Mobile phones when you need one.

12. STAYING UP LATE? WHEN YOU CAN GET UP EARLY AGAIN THE NEXT MORNING!

13. Hands behind your back if you are waiting to speak to somebody and hands held in front if you are asking to use the bathroom.

14. For regular coffee or tea drinks you must be thirteen.

15. When you are told to do something by someone who is thirteen or older, you must reply 'Yes Sir', or 'Yes Ma'am.'

16. If you argue you must sit on the bottom stair until you are friends again. This rule applies until you leave home.

17. A lovely family came to have dinner with us and after their meal they said "Excuse me Mrs. Shepherd, thank you for my meal, please may I be excused from the table." Mum thought it was wonderful and it's now on her list of rules.

18. Smoking is only allowed on production of your death certificate.

19. Bad language is a 100p fine per word.

There you go! This list is actually a lot longer, but here are the ones I thought you'd like to see. 

GOD BLESS,

Charis
