Rules 46 to 50
Use of the TV
Rule 46: Marti has first priority with the TV.
- Actually, it's not because we (the family) agree to this, but because we have no word in it.
- You already know why: no one can resist when her lower lip begins to tremble.
Rule 47: Derek arrives in second.
- He's the king of the remote.
- Don't hope to change the channel when he's in control.
- Especially if he watches hockey.
Rule 48: Casey in third.
- Even if she fights for the second place with Derek, she's always in third.
- But don't expect to take the remote out of her hands when she watches one of her mushy movies.
Rule 49: George and Nora in fourth.
- They are the parents after all. After letting their baby girl and their two obnoxious eldest children overcome their authority, they decide to put their foot down. Finally.
Rule 50: Not a surprise, Edwin and Lizzie are fifth.
- We are always the unwanted items.
- Not cute like Marti or insufferable like Casey and Derek, we have no proper weapon against the despotism of our parents.
- Yeah, life is so not fair. This is the curse of the middle child.
- We are seriously thinking of join the dark side of the Force, just to having some attention. If it works well for Derek, maybe it will work for us too.
