Things to Do and Not to Do
Jul 29, 2004, 9:02am »
If you are staying with Aunt Kathy, even if you think you are helping, please do the following:

• Answer Aunt Kathy when she calls. Don't just leave a trail of cheese curls to wherever you are figuring that will suffice.
  
• Do not help Aunt Kathy make a new chocolate drink my stirring up the whole pack of her sugar free chocolate covered raisins into a glass of milk.
  
• Do not try to clean the TV screen with a paper towel dampened with juice, Sprite or Hawaiian Punch.
  
• Do not tie all of the seat belts together in the back seat of Aunt Kathy's car.
  
• If you are feeling the least bit woozy, please let Aunt Kathy know before you get into her car. The same goes for having to go to the bathroom.
  
• You have Aunt Kathy's permission to close all doors that lead to the outdoors when you go through them.
  
• You have Aunt Kathy's permission to get out another roll of toilet paper or simply inform Aunt Kathy that the roll is empty--oh yes--and you do have permission, if you don't already, to actually USE toilet paper.
  
• Look at the trash can when dropping items into it.

More to come to this list as the week goes by. SistaKathy

Additions to the List Forthcoming

• No, you do not have to help Aunt Kathy paint anything or surprise her by painting something for her that belongs to her.
  
• Yes, you may wash your hands before meals, after using the restroom, after sneezing, and after scratching anywhere inside your nose or in your little pants.
  
• As coffee has the opposite effect on children, of course you may have a cup or three.
  
• Do not put audio tapes, toast, baloney sandwiches. or crackers in the VHS. Do not put video games, YuGi-Oh cards, Oreo cookies, or chicken nuggets in the DVD player. Aunt Kathy doesn't like those shows.
  
• Toss your own mysteriously used tissues. Aunt Kathy loves you but doesn't trust your little green tissues.
  
• You do not have to press any keys on the computer to help Aunt Kathy type her papers. I will use spell check thank you very much.
  
• You do not have to share any drink in which your little face has already been in--especially if your nose is the above mentioned color.
  
• Most pets Aunt Kathy may happen to have do not require that you brush, bathe, blow-dry, share gummy worms or hot fries, shave, brush with my toothbrush or yours, dress, or assist in using the potty.
  
• Aunt Kathy does not need you to acquire pets for her--especially in the form of lizards found in the garden, palmetto bugs, ditch frogs, spiders, or that striped
  legged creepy creature scientist have yet to classify.
• If Aunt Kathy is laying down with her eyes closed, that means she is asleep and Dragon Ball-Z is not considered an emergency for waking her.
