The rules of a toddler
If it is on, I must turn it off.
If it is off, I must turn it on.
If it is folded, I must unfold it.
If it is not food, it must be tasted.
If it IS food, it must not be tasted.
If it is a liquid, it must be spilled.
If it is a solid, it must be thrown.
If it is high, it must be reached.
If it is shelved, it must be removed.
If it is plugged, it must be unplugged.
If it is closed, it must be opened.
If it does not open, it must be screamed at.
If it is full, it will be more interesting emptied.
If it is empty, it will be more interesting full.
If it has a flat surface, it must be banged upon.
If Mommy's hands are full, I must be carried.
If Mommy wants to carry me, I must walk alone.
If it is a car seat, it must be protested with arched back.
If it is dry, it must be made wet with drool, milk, or toilet water.
And finally the defining trifecta:
If it is yours it must be mine.
If it ever was mine, it must still be mine.
If it looks like something that was once mine, it must be mine.

Oh so true! This is perfect.
I found your blog and love this list. I'd love to post it to my blog, giving you credit for it of course. Would that be ok with you?
From a fellow mom of toddlers. But mine aren't twins. Mine are 4, 2, and very newly 1.
awesome! you couldn't nail it on the head any harder.
I just found your blog and just wanted to stop by and say Hi! My twin girls were born the day after yours. I also have a little boy who turned three in October. Love this list - I may print it out and put it on the fridge.
