In a moment of inspiration as we were eating dinner, Michelle added another rule to the previous five. We call it Rule Number Six. Here it is.
Rule 6: The first bite of food at any meal must be followed by an enthusiastic, "Mama, this is DELICIOUS!"
Note: The follwing are also acceptable: "Mama, this is the BEST food I've ever had!" "Mama, I love everything you make for me!" "Mama, I could eat this all day!" Or simply, "Mama, you're the best!"
Michelle and I offered some demonstrations. Josie and Joshua laughed, and Joshua said, "Papa, you're funny." I looked at him in all seriousness and said that we wouldn't eat if Mama, out of the kindness of her heart, didn't feed us. He looked at Michelle, and Michelle gave him the he's-right-you-know-you-are-alive-and-happy-because-I-take-such-good-care-of-you look.
Thanks, Michelle. You're the best! What's for dinner?

Funny! I think I'm adopting all this rules. Can you just run off a copy of the one on the fridge for me? : )
MIchelle could you imangine if Patsy had that rule on the Rocking J ranch. Brad would freak out and never say that. Robin has a rule also. It's called. Eat Dessert first!
You guys are awesome. Your kiddos are lovely. Its been a while since we visited your blog, so it was fun to catch up with what has been happening in your lives. How is life with twins?
My dear sister michelle jenkins, you truly are the most perfect wife and mother I know in the gospel. I would like to interview you for a new book I am writing, called "the 7 habbits of perfect people". I look forward to talking to you soon.
