drum sticks

I am lying in bed dreaming something odd and then I abruptly wake up with one thought: I get to buy Joey his first set of drumsticks this week.

What am I thinking?

This is Joey, the little man who finds things to do that are often unsafe and maybe a bit illegal. Maybe this is not such a good idea. But they are just drumsticks, right? 

No, they are not only drumsticks. They are weapons in the hands of a little boy.

So, after pondering my dilemma, I came up with a list of rules that go along with his new instrument.

1-  He may not use them on his sisters no matter how much noise they make when you hit them with a  stick.

2-  Zachary too

3-   He may not hurl the drumsticks across the room to see how high and far they fly

4-   He may not stick them up his nose or try to stick them up anyone else's nose (ears too, yep gotta add them ears)

5-   I reserve the right to hide them REALLY high if I have a headache.

6 -   Last but definitely the most important- I have the right to change and add rules that are needed as I am not sure what to expect with this new loud adventure we are about to embark on.
