8 rules of toddler play

1.If I like it, it’s mine.
2.If it’s in my hand, it’s mine.
3.If I can take if from you, it’s mine.
4.If I had it a little time ago, it’s mine.
5.If it’s mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way, shape, or form.
6.If I’m doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.
7.If it looks like mine, it’s mine.
8.If I think it’s mine, it’s mine.

•If it's mine it's mine,
if it's yours it's mine,
if I like it is mine,
if I can take it from you it is mine,
if I am playing with something ALL of the pieces are mine,
if I think it is mine it is,
if I saw it first it's mine,
if I had it then put it down it is still mine,
if you had it then you put it down it is now mine,
if it looks like the one I have at home it is mine,
if it is broken it is yours.

I like both of those - shame the toddlers I look after won't understand it! :laughing:

I've got this hanging in my hallway, it's engraved on a terra cotta plaque:

If I like it - it's MINE
If it's in my hand - it's MINE
If it looks like mine - it's MINE
If I think it's mine - it's MINE
Everything else is MINE too!

:laughing: oh I like that especially the last line - reminds me of when I was at a friends house and she had two identical balloons for her girls (one was present and the other at school) the balloons where up against the patio doors and suddenly one burst without warning S (aged approx two and a half) immediately said 'that's C's'

LOL! Seen this on facebook, and my friend commented about the last line, should be "If it's broken, FIX IT NOW!!!"
