Things You Must Respect

Recently I was visiting with my family. My older cousin and I we talking and we made a list for out siblings of things that all kids should know and respect. My sister didn't know one of them and my older cousin is like "How can you not know that? It's like looking before you cross the street, something that you just know." But it's sort of a fun like so I'll share.
1. Shot Gun This is not to be argued with. If someone calls Shot Gun the front seat is theirs. There's not Pistol or fancy rules to get around this.
2. Nose Goes For those of you who don't know, you call Nose Goes to mean not it. The last person to touch their nose is the one doing the unwanted chore or task. We use this very much especially with family get togethers. There's no arguing the Nose Goes. If you look around to see that your the only one not touching your nose start moving cause there's no getting out of it.
3. Fives If you say Fives when you leave your chair it will be safe so 5 minutes. People can sit in it while your gone, but when you come back everything will return to as it was, no ifs, ands or buts. However, if you forget to say Fives or overstay your time up, good luck getting that chair back.

Do you have any other important must be obeyed, unarguable no matter what side of the stick you end up with rules? Have you heard of all the ones I brought up?

Dream Vacation

On Saturday, I saw a bunch of my friends for the first time all summer, and it was pretty great hearing about all of the awesome places that they went. From as far away as Taiwan, to as close as the snowball stand, they all had stories to tell. Thinking about this, I started to wonder about all of the places in our world and how amazing it would be to go. So here is your challenge. Describe your dream trip, where, how you get there, and with who. I can't wait to hear all about them!
