Welcome to the Toddler Society, where the rules are as whimsical as they are unyielding.
- Confidentiality is Key – The first rule of Toddler Society is: never discuss Toddler Society.
- Silence is Golden – The second rule is to maintain this silence.
- Bath Time Drama – Always resist entering the bathtub; once submerged, immediately express a desire to exit.
- The Power of No – Whenever posed a question, the answer is invariably “no,” except when it’s phrased as, “Would you like a treat?”
- Bedtime Eviction – Under no circumstances should you retire for the night. Instead, bombard your caregiver with inquiries: “Can I have water?” “Do I have to go potty?” “What’s that noise?” “Can I have a story?” “I want a new pillow!” The goal is to delay bedtime at all costs.
- Sibling Soundtrack – If a younger sibling is upset, amplify the situation by crying louder to create an atmosphere of sheer chaos.
- Pasta vs. Pizza – If pasta is served, request pizza. If pizza is provided, revert to a request for pasta.
- Clothing Resistance – Never comply to wear clothing upon a single request; insist on multiple prompts.
- Meal Confusion – Breakfast foods are suitable for dinner, and vice versa. Don’t be misled by conventional meal times.
- Parental Negotiation – If one parent denies a request, seek favor from the other. If denied again, claim the first parent gave the green light.
- Food Distribution – It’s not necessary to consume all food. Remember, your attire deserves to be fed too.
- Crust Caution – Exercise skepticism towards anything with a crust; rinds are not allies.
In solidarity,
Toddler Leadership
