- Be helpful.

- Be honest...always.

- No temper tantrums or arguing.

Momma JL's House Rules (What they really say...)

- If it's not yours, don't touch it.

- "Bedtime" is the same time every night, so don't look at me like I have 12 heads when I tell you to get yourself to sleep.

- If you spit toothpaste in my sink you'd better rinse the sink out, or you'll be using your toothbrush to scrub it later.

- I provide you with food and shelter, everything else you get is a privileged...privileges can end abruptly.

-Remove your shoes at the door. If you walk across the floors I clean with dirty shoes, you'll start cleaning them.

- If the door is closed and/or locked, knocking repeatedly or saying "Momma" over and over, will not make the door open any faster or get you a response.

- I don't care if you think I'm being "fair"...always remember life isn't fair and there's no such thing as unfair working in your favor.

-Disrespect isn't tolerated, watch what you say and how you say it...otherwise you might walk away from the conversation missing a tooth.

- Momma doesn't raise liars or thieves, behave like one and you'll be sleeping in the yard - blanket and pillow may not be provided based on severity of the crime committed.

- Lift the seat. If you pee on my toilet seat/rim you'd better clean it up, or you'll be scrubbing the entire bathroom.

 -  Slam your door and I'll take it off the hinges.

- Use an inside voice while inside...outside voice while inside may result in a karate chop to the voice box.

-  If you make a mess, you'd better be prepared to cleaning it up; whining will result in you being sent to pick up all the rocks from the gravel driveway.
