Thou shalt not …

It’s just the list of everything he did LAST Saturday.

Aw, Mom!

I’ll bet Hammie’s list still isn’t long enough. He’s probably great at finding loopholes.

it’s a long list, but you don’t have to do any of it

could be used like toilet paper.

Consider that your community service for everything you did!

Put him to work raking the back yard. That should keep him busy for a while.

Being the trusted child doesn’t come with any benefits, does it?

Man oh man, that’s a lot of messes to clean up. But then, Hammie is a ‘one-kid wrecking crew’.

When I was young and they packed me off to school

They taught me how not to play the game

I didn’t mind if they groomed me for success (eew)

Or if they said that I was just a fool

(from song Wind Up)

Everything.

Mom knows best…….lol.

A to-don’t list would be infinite. The trick is to have the right to-do list.

Wanda taped all of Hammie’s past to-do lists together. Easier than writing out a new list for him.

Took me a second to notice the word DON’T

Even Zoe’s surprised at the length of Hammie’s list lol

Why the disparity?

the way to keep him out of trouble is to give him something constructive to do

Hopefully she closed all the loopholes!

Hammie’s list will probly be more helpful in the end… if he lives up to it, that is!

I picture Hammie’s list as being bulletproof: 1) Pick up and put away the block with an A on it. 2) Pick up the… and so on.

I miss the old fanfold dot matrix paper – great for lists of any type.

Typical, the people who screw stuff up, wind up not having to do anything.
