The time has come....

Bathroom Rules

• The bathroom door is closed. Please do not stand here and talk, whine, or ask questions. Wait until I get out. Yes, it is locked. I want it that way. It is not broken, nor am I trapped.I know that I have left it unlocked at times, and even open at times, once you were born, because I was afraid some horrible tragedy might occur while I was there, but it's been 10 years and I want some privacy.
• Do not ask me how long I will be. I will come out when I am done. Do not bring the phone to the bathroom door. Do not go running back to the phone yelling, "She's in the BATHROOM!"
• Do not begin to fight as soon as I go in.
• Do not stick your little fingers under the door and wiggle them. This was funny when you were two.
• Do not slide pennies, Legos, or notes under the door. Even when you were two, this got to be a little tiresome.
• Do not let the dog/cat in because you think he/she "misses me."
• If you have followed me down the hall talking, and are still talking as you face this closed door, please turn around, walk away, and wait for me in another room. I will be glad to listen to you when I am done.
