Rules for a Three Year Old

We don't stick popcorn up our nose
We don't hold our forks with our toes
We don't try to grow a garden in our ears
We don't ever put wiggly worms on the stairs

We don't say no to our fathers or mothers
We don't snatch toys from any others
We don't tap dance on puppy dogs tails
We don't drink lemonade from muddy pails

We don't kick and we don't bite
We don't spit bubble gum out of sight
We don't hide and cut our hair
We don't do ballet standing on a chair

We don't take naps outside on the ice
We don't stick out our tongues, that's not nice
We don't wear swimming suits in the snow
We don't go to town before we go (potty)

We don’t eat ice cream in the shower
We don’t frown and we don’t glower
We don’t tie our shoes to our heads
We don’t take bubble baths in our beds

We don’t stay up all night to watch our shows
We don’t leave crumbs wherever we go
We don’t forget to give big fat hugs
We don’t hide Jell-O underneath the rugs

We don’t stop looking at the stars to make wishes
We don’t cry because we can’t do the dishes
We don’t go to sleep without saying “goodnight”
We don’t use our walls to write

We don’t forget these rules every day
We don’t hurt others when we play
We don’t make our sister sad and cry
We don’t forget no one loves you like I.

I work with little children...and this poem is as funny/endearing as it is accurate!

Much enjoyed.
