Rules for David
Follow the rules.
Don’t run down the clinic hallway.
If it’s too loud, cover your ears or ask the other person to be quiet.
Sometimes you’ve gotta work with what you’ve got.
If you don’t have the words you need, borrow someone else’s.
Sometimes things work out, but don’t count on it.
Saying you’ll do something means you have to do it — unless you have a very good excuse.
If you can only choose one, pick carefully.
At someone else’s house, you have to follow their rules.
If it fits in your mouth, it’s food.
Sometimes people laugh when they like you. But sometimes they laugh to hurt you.
Open closet doors carefully. Sometimes things fall out.
Sometimes people don’t answer because they didn’t hear you. Other times it’s because they don’t want to hear you.
No toys in the fish tank.
Solving one problem can create another.
No dancing unless I’m alone in my room or it’s pitch-black dark.
Not everything worth keeping has to be useful.
Pantless brothers are not my problem.
Some people think they know who you are, when really they don’t.
Late doesn’t mean not coming.
A real conversation takes two people.
If you need to borrow words, Arnold Lobel wrote some good ones.
