Many couples have inside jokes, you know funny little things that only the two of you share. My husband and I have those but we also have inside rules: little things to live by each day that keep you safe and happy. Many of them have to do with traveling, hence the title, Road Rules. For example...
Never take the children to the kiddie pool or the McDonald's play-place. No matter how fun it may look. What goes on there is not hygienically kosher.
Never buy food that has been prepared at a gas station. Taquitos from 7-Eleven are not safe and the meat is not real.
Cartoon characters only belong on the screen, not on clothes. (There are exceptions to this rule, but Dora plastered on my daughter's clothing is not one of them.)
Do not point at people when driving down MLK in 'Vegas AND always lock your doors, especially at stop lights.
Avoid rest stops on the freeway, use bushes for what nature intended them to be, green latrines. Go Green!
Do not go to Maverik in Overton after dark. If you've ever been there you know why.
That being said, what are your "inside" rules?

A Narrow Mind
I think the personality I hate the worse is a narrow mind. There is nothing I want to do more than prove those people wrong. But usually those who suffer from a fore mentioned condition wouldn't be convinced of their own sickness.
EXAMPLES!!!:
#1. "Hunting is wrong so anyone who hunts is evil" Now I personally do not like hunting. (Exception: small birds, which I hate) But I do not feel like it is any of my business if someone else finds joy in the hobby. It is their business not mine.
#2. " I bottle fed my babies, so anyone who doesn't is starving their child." Does it not enter the infected mind that maybe this is a personal choice?
#3. "I will wait until 2 weeks past my due date to have my baby, so anyone who induces labor early is endangering their child." I personally have mixed feelings on this subject. My friend wanted to have her baby on a certain date, so she could be back to work by a certain time. I didn't feel like it was good to force her baby out. (my personal opinion) But her baby was fat, happy and healthy. So no harm done!! I also have another friend who went into labor, went to the hospital, and suddenly everything stopped. She waited over a week and nothing so her doctor induced labor. She then had to have a C section because she was not able to have her child. SOOO it is good that she was induced or her baby could have been in distress!
Now I ask this question to all the bloggers who are bored enough to read my dribble: Which are you? Are you so narrow minded that no one else's opinion is correct or exceptional? Are you so opened minded that anything goes? I personally feel that I am opened minded, unless it is dealing with those who are narrow minded. Then I guess.... I am narrow minded also.
Note* This is the rambling opinion of a mad woman and are not meant to offend or hurt. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I have utmost respect for that. Please take this with a grain of salt.
