#3 "Eating in Bed" Countdown: Bored Kids=Mischief

Stefanie, Stefanie, Stefanie. My little sister.

When Stefanie gets bored, she gets her funny on, thus we see an appearance of her on my blog in the countdown.

The House where Stefanie is working on her recovery has some PRETTY strict rules, and breaking a rule results in an "infraction". Her infraction this time? EATING IN BED (one of my favorite past-times).

One of the consequences is that she had to write "20 Reasons Not to Eat in Bed" and then read it to her group Monday morning (apparently everyone looks forward to Stefanie's "musings").

Stef wrote this assignment while she was with us:

20 Reasons Not to Eat in Bed


1. Crumbs in your bed
2. Spoil or stain your bed
3. Could choke
4. Could vomit
5. Could fall asleep in potatoes and gravy
6. You're not supposed to
7. You won't be hungry at mealtime
8. Can't talk with your mouth full
9. To prevent mice and ants
10. Eating late or in bed could cause obesity
11. Upset stomache
12. It's a nasty habit
13. Disrupts your sleep
14. Causes heartburn
15. Disrupts quiet time
16. Eating after you've brushed
17. Leading cause of Halitosis
18. Can cause nightmares
19. Can lead to a life of crime
* 20. It's not polite to talk in your sleep with your mouth full

Do they give her these assignments to make her actually sorry?...... or for their own entertainment? What did they THINK she would write? She's a Wilson!! :-)

Well... I certainly won't be eating in bed anymore! Wouldn't want it to lead to anything BAD! Good Job, Stefanie!
