Toddler Rules of Ownership

mckayleesmom wrote: 1. If I like it, it's mine.

2. If it's in my hand, it's mine.

3. If I can take it from you, it's mine.

4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.

5. If it's mine, it must NEVER appear to be yours in anyway.

6. If I'm doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.

7. If it looks just like mine, it is mine.

8. If I saw it first, it's mine.

9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.

10. If it's broken, it's yours.

The girls have a shirt similiar to these rules... but the final "rule" is IT's MINE! IT's MINE! IT's MINE!!

...Until such time, of course, when you replace said broken item, at which time it will immediately become mine.


I love that Brianne.

Bee_Kay replied: LOL Brianne! Thanks for posting that! It gave me a good laugh thinking about when my kids were younger !

DVFlyer replied: 11. (Indian Giver disclaimer) If you are playing with something I like, and I decide I want to trade, at no point does ownership of any items transfer to you. I retain full ownership and may trade back or take both.
