Dane and I happened upon this book while shopping in Southwest Harbor, ME. The shop is called Under the Dogwood Tree. The owner has some very unique things for babies and children. I could spend hours in there (Dane, unfortunately, could not). I had to buy this book because it's so darn funny. It reminded me of one of my best friends, Katherine. A boy that follows these rules would be the right boy for her. (especially this one: Never turn down a girl's invitation to dance.)
After buying it, I googled it. Turns out the author not only has a book but also has a blog. Check it out!
A couple of poignant rules for Robbie:
Stand up for the little guy. He'll remember you.
When in doubt, wear a tie.
Ride in the front car of a roller coaster.
Let napping dads lie.
Offer to carry a woman's bags. Especially your mother's.
Don't date the bartender.
Short pants are for little boys. Decide for yourself when you are a man.
When it comes to opening presents, no one likes a good guesser.
Sit in the front of the classroom.
Until you are a doctor, never answer your phone at the table.
Don't be a mooch.
Have a favorite song. It doesn't have to be cool.
Marry the girl, you marry the whole family.
You won't always be the strongest or fastest. You can be the toughest.
Don't loiter where there is a dispute that doesn't concern you.
Honking your horn won't make them go faster.
In the long run, loyalty trumps ambition every time.
Nothing good happens after 3 am. I promise.
Girls like boys who shower.
Spend time with your mother. She's cooler than you think.
You are what you do, not what you say.
There are so many more I'd like to share!
P.S. Yes, I changed the name of the blog. I thought a family blog would be less exclusive!
