Don't

Don’t make that face, it will freeze that way
Don’t talk to strangers
Don’t whine, appreciate what you have
Don’t talk back
Don’t swear at you brother, soap tastes bad
Don’t be so sassy
Don’t lie, the truth will find you
Don’t jump on the bed
Don’t sit so close to the t.v, you’ll go blind
Don’t eat dirt
Don’t steal the cookies, you’ll make yourself sick
Don’t get your clothes dirty
Don’t run out into the street, you’ll get hit
Don’t hit other kids, they might hit you back
Don’t pee your pants
Don’t pick your nose, your neck will cave in
Don’t forget to flush
Don’t threaten your sister with a knife
Don’t pick up garbage, its dirty
Don’t pull the cat’s tail or throw it at your brother
Don’t act crazy in public, its embarrassing
Don’t take candy from strangers
Don’t throw the cat in the tub, especially when people are in it
And never ever show people your private parts!
