I Will NOT Give a Mouse a Cookie!

Toddler Manifesto

1. If I do not like the story you are reading I will throw myself on the floor and yell.

2. I do not care if I interrupt the group.

3. Embarrasing Mommy is fun and a real crowd pleaser.

4. My way or the Highway.

5. If you are tired and cranky - I will not nap.

6. If you are trying like crazy to keep me awake in the car so I will sleep later - I will nap.

7. No people, giant mice are not cool.

8. I do not want my picture taken with a walking rodent!

9. The book "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie", even a dramatic retelling, is not something to keep me occupied more then 23.4 seconds.

10. Oprah is not good television, "Do-la the Explor-la" is good television.

11. If a Mouse takes a cookie that mommy and I baked at home FOR the mouse I will freak out to the point of snatching the cookie from said mouse. The group may find this hilarious, mommy will not.

12. Mommy and I are now banned from the library.

(insert a mommy groan here)

(ps - just kidding about the library ban - but barely!!!)
