Years ago my oldest sister, Susan, told me that there was a set of "Toddler Property Laws." She actually had them printed and framed. That way if a child of hers ever complained about what the toddler at the time was doing, she would just refer them to the TPL's.
So here they are.
THE TODDLER PROPERTY LAWS
1. If I like it, it's mine.
2. If it's in my hand, it's mine.
3. If I can take it from you, it's mine.
4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
6. If I'm doing or building something, all of the pieces are mine.
7. If it looks like mine, it's mine.
8. If I saw it first, it's mine.
9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it
automatically becomes mine.
10. If it's broken, it's yours. No. Wait. The pieces are still mine.
