New Family Protocol

I was lying on the ground, in my camo coverall, Looking all small, chubby sure, but definitely not tall, When I noticed the beautiful rainbow-like waterfall, And could not help but wonder at familial protocol. What would do my mischievous cousin ornery Paul? Would he dance and sing in this gorgeous blue waterfall? Family dynamics being delicately what they are and all, So to honor my relatives, I danced and sang in the waterfall, So now, of course, this is a new family protocol Regardless of the protests of my Uncle Saul. So now here I lie, soaking wet, uncomfortable, in my coverall, Wishing I would have used a bit of restraint after all.

Funny, you don't seem to have much use for restraint-

Michelle, I had to wear a glove on my left hand for an entire year when I was in the first grade at the great idea of my teacher and the support of my mother so I would not be left handed. I have NO use at all for restraint.

I have two overalls in my closet, and I know from experience - especially from snow drift play, when they get soaking wet, it is uncomfortable, and you need to go inside and try to be a grown up.

And you know restraint is not my middle name, my friend.
