Hmmmmm, I live in an apartment and am the master of my domain.
So rules ... let's see, this could be Fun!
1) You must know the correct Secret Password before I let you in the door. If you do not know the Secret Password, the only other way you will be allowed in is if you bribe me with chocolate.
3) Do not wear any orange items of clothing. Orange will have to go. If you need to rent clothing items of more proper and pleasant colors such as purple, green, and blue, arrangements can be made, for a modest fee, payable to myself in money or Chinese egg rolls.
5) Counting is optional. If you like, you can skip rule number 2 and rule number 4.
6) Sitting on chairs or the couch is optional.
7) A real rule ... don't break my stuff, especially my breakable stuff! Otherwise I will be very sad.
Another real rule ... please don't help me clear the table or wash dishes ... I have my own particular ways of doing the dishes, which sometimes involves being clumsy and knocking over the dishwater so that suds spill all over the floor and I then end up washing the floor, which has happened more than once.
Plus I have a small kitchen and we'd only end up in each other's way if we both tried to clean up together. So I will clean up when you go home.
9) Yes, you are allowed to read my books if you prefer reading to talking with me ... Please feel comfortable! (One of my guests actually did this once, and I was seriously flattered that he had such a high opinion of my book collection.) However, I do not loan books out because some of them are out of print and cannot be replaced.
10) Y'all come back now, ya hear?
