The Rules

I'm thirteen and still have rules. There are a lot of them and sometimes it's really hard to remember and follow all of them but somehow I do.

No Texting Past 9:00 p.m.
This rule is sometimes hard, especially when you lose track of time, but most of my friends understand that I have this rule and remind me.

No Dating Till You Are Eighteen
When we are eighteen we are allowed to go on dates alone, but when we are sixteen we are allowed to have boys over but our parents have to be home. There are some loop holes... as my sister Alli calls it we can "claim" the boy just not touching. That means we can call them our boyfriend but we are not allowed to hold hands or hug or anything close to that.

All Closing Is Approved By My Dad
When we go to church we are not allowed to have to dresses more than an inch above your knee.

No Dances
We are not allowed to go to dance, but we are allowed to go to our proms.

No Cussing Unless You Are In The Living Room
We are not allowed to cuss unless we are in our living room, but as my sister Sydney says only cussing on carpet.

There are other rules but most of them change so it's hard to keep up with the rules.
