Rules for Daddy's Hangover

Yesterday was not a good day. Daddy had a hangover. Mommy had to go out for a while leaving Daddy with the kids. The kids do not understand about hangovers.

I'd like to propose a few simple rules for kids when Daddy declares a Hangover Emergency.

1. No pooping or peeing in your pants, on the floor, or in any other manner requiring cleanup.

2. Before waking up Dad you must submit the request to a certified independent arbitrator. If approved, you must provide 3 days written notice, by certified mail, of your intent.

3. After Daddy wakes up there will be complete silence until he consumes three (3) cups of sufficiently strong coffee. If necessary, communication may be submitted in writing during this period.

4. No further explanation of Daddy's condition beyond "I went to bed too late--see what happens when you don't get enough sleep?" will be provided, so do not ask.

There, that won't be so hard, will it?
