Toddler Property Laws

If I like it, it's mine
If it's in my hand, it's mine
If I can take it from you, it's mine
If I had it a little while ago, it's mine
If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way
If I'm doing or building something, all the pieces are mine
If it looks just like mine, it is mine
If I saw it first, it's mine
If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine
If it's broken, it's yours.


I have this one in my portfolio and will be printing this new one above and adding that also.
