Toddler rules of ownership


I know these have been floating around the web for probably ten years, but in case you havent's seen them, here they are. 

1. If I like it, its mine.

2. If its in my hand, its mine.

3. If I can take it from you, its mine.

4. If I had it a little while ago, its mine.

5. If its mine, it must NEVER appear to be yours in anyway.

6. If Im doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.

7. If it looks just like mine, it is mine.

8. If I saw it first, its mine.

9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically
becomes mine.

10. If its broken, its yours.

With two toddlers in the Roper house, these are like the Ten Commandments.

That's funny! My 3yo is getting over this, but the 16mo is really starting to catch on. They're so freakin' CUTE I can't stand it!

Mr. Boo is just starting to become territorial with toys. It's still funny.

Mr. Boo has a 3-yo cousin, whom he follows around whenever we're at my sister's house. She hates it because he's always wanting to play with her toys. The other day, I went over and the two older siblings both cheered my arrival and came to hug me. The 3-yo burst into tears. Once I told her that I had left Mr. Boo with his daddy, she cheered right up and hugged me too.

#3 food consumption unit just turned four, so I don't know if he fits the official definition of toddler, but he still very much plays by the above rules.

#4 food consumption unit will be two in February.

Three plus four is seven, which is the number of food consumption units you're planning, right?

Addendum to Janey's story above.
Once I told her that I had left Mr. Boo with his daddy, she cheered right up and hugged me too.
   Then I took Mr. Boo over there an hour or so later, and her happiness ended.
