Toddler Creeds


If I want it, it's mine.

If I give it to you and change my mind later, it's mine.

If I can take it away from you, it's mine.

If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.

If it's mine, it will never belong to anybody else, no matter what.

If we are building something together, all the pieces are mine.

If it looks just like mine, it is mine!



Another Toddler Creed--that always makes me laugh. :)

If it is on, I must turn it off.
If it is off, I must turn it on.
If it is a liquid, it must be shaken, then spilled.
If it a solid, it must be crumbled or smeared.
If it is high, it must be reached.
If it is shelved, it must be unshelved.
If it has leaves, they must be picked.
If it is not trash, it must be thrown away. I
f it is in the trash, it must be removed, inspected, and thrown on the floor.
If it is closed, it must be opened.
If it is full, it will be more interesting emptied.
it is empty, it will be more interesting full.
It must be pushed by me instead.
If it has a flat surface, it must be banged upon.
If Mommy's hands are full, I must be carried.
If it has buttons, they must be pressed.
If the volume is low, it must go high.
If it is toilet paper, it must be unrolled on the floor.
If it is a drawer, it must be pulled upon.
If it is a toothbrush, it must be inserted into my mouth.
If it has a faucet, it must be turned on at full force.
If it is a phone, I must talk to it.
If it is a bug, it must be swallowed.
If it doesn't stay on my spoon, it must be dropped on the floor.
If it is not food, it must be tasted. If it is food, it must not be tasted.
If it is Mommy Daddy (or Teacher), it must be hugged.
I am toddler!
