So, last week Scott and Madeline both came home from school with little packets that discussed why schools have rules. At the beginning of the packet, there was a page that asked them to draw and explain a rule that they have at home. Scott wrote "When you're eating, stay in your chair" and Madeline wrote "Don't hit in the house". Good rules, huh? Well, what's so funny about these rules they wrote is they both apply to the other twin. Madeline is the one who gets told daily that she needs to sit down in her chair to eat. And Scott is the one running around the house with his Light saber, being told not to hit things (well, the same could be said about Dylan...). And just in case it wasn't clear to everyone reading Madeline's rule, she even drew a picture of a boy with a Light saber and labeled it "brother". Haha! I thought is was just too funny that they each wrote down a rule that the other twin struggles with, rather then a rule they need to work on:)

So funny! I'm pretty sure I'll be using this in a lesson with my 2nd graders in the near future. : ) Thanks for sharing!
It's human nature to see where others need to improve and we many times underestimate our own weeknesses. Quite cute, actually!
oops! weaknesses
Kids are so good at remembering rules when someone else is breaking them!
funny! Wouldn't you kind of do that with Dave if you guys had to sit down and set rules. HAHA.
