The Line Is Drawn

Sometimes, OK all the times, I'm one of those parents that threatens but then has no follow through. That's how I roll almost all the time. But, heads up, this ain't one of those times. This is straight up serious. A mother can only be pushed so far.

After finishing laundry this weekend, I posted this manifesto on the fridge. I made it all cutesy and color highlighted. And I made the offspring sign in blood. I mean, pen.

Here's how things are goin' down from now on.
Remember, I'm not messin' around no more.

ATTENTION!

All Foster Children

From this day forward, all laundry bins

must be brought downstairs on Laundry Day 

containing ONLY dirty clothes.

Any person that decides to leave clean

and folded clothes from the previous week

in their bin, will be punished to the full extent.

See details below.

PUNISHMENT:

Any person caught trying to trick their mother

into washing the same, exact clothes she

washed the week before, will be

subjected to the following--

Your cell phone privilege will be revoked until

you act out 3 stories from the scriptures.

Costumes and props will be required.

Your mother will film your performances

and post them on YouTube.

Go Ahead.

Try Me.

I'll take you down.

Cross your fingers, people.
Life is about to get real over here.
