I came home after work. Inhaled and picked up my Sharpie. I made the following signs and taped them onto all of the bedroom doors:

Our bedroom: DID YOU KNOCK FIRST?

Hi. My name is Savannah. I will not leave my bag, shoes, purse, books and t-shirt on the living room floor when I get home from school because I realize this is rude considering I have a nice big bedroom with a corner just for my school stuff. I am good at pairing socks while being on the computer because I am learning to multitask.

Hi. My name is Trinity. I will show my parents ALL of my school papers everyday and turn in my homework on time because I want everyone to know how smart I am. I realize that I want to make it to 2nd grade and not live with my parents forever. I am very helpful around the house.

Hi. My name is Miah. I will keep my room clean and uncluttered because it will show my gratitude for having my own bedroom. I will treat my belongings with respect because no one will want to give me things if I trash them. I am very good at cleaning the bathrooms.

(working my way to the basement bedrooms...)

Hi. My name is Zeph. I will not whine, backtalk or roll my eyes when my parents give me instruction. That would be rude and they would not want to play basketball with a disrespectful child. I give great hugs.

Hi. My name is Kainon. I will ask permission BEFORE I make plans or let my friends raid the kitchen. I realize that my parents are allowed to have a life on the weekends too and they work hard to provide for everyone. I will show them respect and gratitude for all they do for me. I can carry a lot of trash bags at one time.

I didn't get to Wrig and Junah's room because they weren't with me last night but they have a sign on their door that Junah made:

DO NOT ENTER unless you are Kainon because there will be no time-outs ONLY DEATH.

Feel the love.
