Asher's Rules

On the way home from church today Asher stated that he had a few notes for us. He prefaced them with, "I don't think you're going to like these rules." We had a hard time keeping a straight face all the way home listening to his new suggested 'rules' so we had him repeat them once we were home. They are, not surprisingly, exactly the house rules you would expect from a five-year-old.

Asher's new rules:

1. I can buy every expensive toy
2. I can always have a dinner that's not so healthy
3. My bear will never get wore out
4. We can never go to sleep at nap time or at bed time
5. I would never do chores
6. Little kids and even babies can drive the cars.

And, purely for our own entertainment, Bill caught his second recitation of his 'notes' on video. He's eating some of his Halloween candy while explaining which of his newly suggested rules we really, really won't like.

I love Asher's rules. Heck, I know a fair number of adults who would like to live by these rules.

While he may not have stated his ethical foundations in list form, Asher's dad had virtually the same philosophy of life at age five. In point of fact, except for #6, I think he still does. (Though he has succumbed to doing quite a few chores now-a-days.)
