A Few King Family Rules to Live by.....

1. King children love to go to Classic Skating! If you go with them, plan on A) running back and forth for 3 hours between the skate rink, bounce toys, and video games to keep an eye on them and B)being sucked into buying oh-so-yummy food from the snack bar because they are literally dying of hunger and C)helping them put on and take off shoes/skates/blades about 1000 times per hour. Good times for Mom!

2. If you are planning on breaking your finger (Garrett) by propping a board against the side of the house and climbing up it while holding on to it and it falls, please do this before 8:00pm, when InstaCare closes. Just a word to the wise.

3. When you do break your finger and the doctor puts a splint on it that you have to wear for 4 weeks, please do not continually take off the splint and hide it in various locations throughout the house and then tell your mom you've lost it (again). Moms do not like this.

4. If you have to go to the hospital to pick up your grandma after she has minor same-day surgery, please do not push any buttons or pull on any cords. Also, climbing the IV pole is out.

5. Never ever play with toys. Instead, find everything else possible to play with, especially those things that will most annoy your mom, such as A) her cell phone and B)her camera and C)her glue dots and D)best of all she likes it when you swing her MP3 player by the headphone strings around like a laso.

6. Please, please practice fighting all day long with your siblings! Go ahead and invent things to tattle about and make sure to never ever play together! This is afterall why we chose to give you siblings!
