Norah – age 9

******************************************

I didn't write this. I didn't even encourage its writing. I didn't even know about it until it was well under way. But it is extremely encouraging to note the influence we have had on its creation. Several of these rules we *regularly* deal with *considerable* flack on. The violence ones are humorous, considering the frequency of sister-clocking which occurs around here. We're still working on implementation of the rules, I suppose.

***Update***

I hit "publish", snap the computer closed and roll over to go to sleep. Max reaches out with big bear arms and pulls me in for a big bear hug. He giggles lasciviously "is THIS in the Girly bible?"

"No," I say "This will be in the new testament, which she doesn't know she has to write yet."

  1. oh, nice list! our Norah's one smart cookie. Those really are words to live by. I hope my little ones some day have their own "code of conduct" like that.

  2. #1: what exactly is going on at your house?
    #3: what exactly is going on at your house?
    #35: formidable! laissez les bontemps roulez!!

    the new testament: since she is already kissing un-related boys that are older than 12 and male relatives under 12, you might want to get started explaining this. maybe a few other things while you're at it.

  3. If Norah suddenly goes missing, don't feel compelled to check NC. I'm sure she's just down the street or something...(eyes look up and away and starts whistling...)

    Seriously? OMG. My ovaries just twitched.

  4. It's like a kids' version of The Rules. You could have a best-selling author on your hands.

    Also, I left you one of those silly but sort of fun award thingies over at WR. Come check it out and post it if you want. No hard feelings if not. I promise, no "vilolince"!

  6. That new testament is some verrrrry spicy business.

    Reading that kind of thign would be simultaneously inspiring and scary, I think. Good to know that the good things are sinking in, scary to realize where it's all heading.
