Unspoken rules in a large family… 😁

 There are many unspoken rules in a large family… 😁

 Here are some that come to mind...

1. If you ever buy yourself a snack or treat, be prepared to share it with the entire family.
2. If you ever mix up your words, or say the wrong thing, your siblings will make sure you remember it for the rest of your life.
3. You can't really have your own signature style or scent, because if you like it, your sisters will like it too.
4. There are no secrets or surprises. Everyone knows everything.
5. If anything is ever missing, broken, or eaten,  there's no sense in asking around, because l can assure you that nobody did it. (Namely - the little kids!) 😁
6.  No one will ever remember who did it last, so you better keep a list of names/ dates.

       7.  If you're ready for bed, your roommate will not be. And if your roommate is ready for bed, you will not. That's how that always works.

      8. Everything must either be your own brand, or hare your initials on it, otherwise, you'll never see it again.

     9.  Somehow your bed is the "catch all" in the house, (From clothes, to Bibles, to shopping bags.)

   10. If anyone is ever in a lazy mood, they'll call you names like "workaholic" to make them feel better. 

And of course there's the more positive unspoken rules too! Such as ...

1. Theres always someone to talk to, to laugh with, to lean on in the car!

2. If you ever need to borrow something, there's plenty of people that you can ask. 

3. If your day isn't going so well, someone else's good day can rub off on you.

4. There's many eyes in the house to tell you if your hair is messed up, or if there's chocolate on your face, or if your shirt is on inside - out!

 5. You can host a family reunion in your room like every night.

  6.  You can make everyone nervous in the Store when it looks like a huge crowd is gathered around the clearance section!

   7. If anything that needs to be done, there's many able bodies who can help. (Hopefully.) 😁
