LIFE’S RULES

If you open it, close it.

If you turn it on, turn it off.

If you unlock it, lock it.

If you break it, repair it.

If you can’t fix it, call someone who can (and pay them).

If you borrow it, return it (in the same condition).

If you use it, take care of it.

If you make a mess, clean it up.

If you move it, put it back.

If it belongs to somebody else and you want to use it, get PERMISSION!!!

If you don’t know how to operate it, leave it alone, or ask for HELP!!!

If it doesn’t concern you, don’t MESS with it.

If you were wrong, APOLOGIZE!!!

If someone is hurting, give comfort.

If you have extra, offer it.

If you make a promise, keep it.

Make “Please,” “Thank you,” and “Excuse me,” your calling cards!!

Something I keep posted on my refrigerator.  A useful tool to teach children, especially when the rules are modeled by their parents.
