The Unwritten Rules To Hanging out with a Pregnant Lady

So, just plain and simple, stay away from pregnant women! Just kidding. Anyways, this all started the day when my brother bought his wife a pregnancy test. There we were, nervous, speechless, we didn't know what was to come. Suddenly, BOOM, the door slams open. With only one bright light, lighting up the pregnancy test as my sister in law held it up. Meanwhile, you could here loud angelic voices, " HALLELUJAH." No, i'm just kidding, hahaha. Seriously though, when we found out she was pregnant we were all very happy. The baby will be my first niece/ nephew and my parents first grandchild. So, this was really exiting news. 

Now, lets get down to business.

Rule# 1: Don't be mean to her. The woman's hormones are going crazy right now, so a little comment will send her into tears.

Rule# 2: Be ready to be smelling throw up in the air. Any little food can and may upset her stomach, so, buy her many buckets.

Rule# 3: Talk to her about the baby. Talk to her about what gender she might want it to be, the future baby shower, or any names she is thinking off. This always gets pregnant women happy.

Rule# 4: Finally and most importantly, let her know you care about the baby. Ask her many questions and talk to her about the baby and you hanging out when he/she is a little older.

Hopefully this will help me and many of you first time aunts or uncles.  

Us

Us

Little waves push at my ankles as I hold your hand.

I treasure these walks where water meets land.

Even though we’ve had our troubles,

I have no problem sifting through the rubble,

And piecing the pieces together,

So I can say us forever.

Music

Whether I am doing homework

Or waiting for someone,

I am listening to music.

From classical music, to Rage against the Machine

It makes me happy,

If you take it away,

Who knows what will happen.

I always have a song stuck in my head,

Almost every day,

I find new songs

But rare does it happen when I fall in love with a song

The song either reminds me of something,

Or it fits the situation that I am in

Please let me listen to songs that keep me amused,

Or your face will end up bruised.

Unwritten Rules of Being A Twin

Being a twin is awesome and all, but that all stops when a person comes up to you and asks you a bizarre question. So, here are my rules of asking a question to a twin.

1.      Do not ask if we are twins, a little sarcasm will come your way if you do.

2.      Please do not ask if we have twin telepathy. If you don’t have telepathy, then we probably won’t have telepathy.

3.      Do not ask if we have a secret language.  Just because we don’t have telepathy, doesn’t mean we will have a secret language.

4.      Do not ask who is smarter and who is dumber.

5.      Do not come up to me, pinch or punch me, go to my sister and ask her, “Did you feel that?”

6.      Do not ask me or my sister if we have ever switched classes for a day? My response would be, “No. It would take too much time. I would have to tell her where I sit and which class to go to. And other people would notice and ruin it.”

So, those are my pet peeves when someone asks a question to me and my sister. 

Star Wok

Star Wok is located in a grocery strip mall in Claremont. I have only gone there twice, but I love it! Out of the two times that I have gone there I had gotten the vegetable egg roll with a bowl of chow mein, and just a bowl of fried rice. 

They have the same people there most of the time. And it does not taste like Panda Express at all. The portion sizes are HUGE. They fill your bowl or your box to the very top. It’s not very busy, so only a few people walk in if your there. 

It’s greasy, but I still love it. On a star rating I would give it a 4. The portion sizes are HUGE, the prices are reasonable, and I love the food. 

Ode to My Pencil

When I need you, you are there
 To help me with my work.
Your wooden sides as soft as silk,
The glitter at the top, so sparkly like the ocean at sunrise.
But, when I jab you in the evil beaver-like machine, I cry
For you are getting smaller, and it's not a lie.
Everyday, I shove you in while you make a ferocious noise.
I am sad; I might have to replace you.
But before you go, here it is, an ode for you.

Un-written Rules!

There are many rules on this earth. Don’t cheat on a test, no cell phones, no cussing at your parent, no talking back to teachers, your clothes have to fit right, n tattoos/piercings ect. But there are unwritten rules also. There’s un-written rules for a lot of things! I think one of the most important are…

Un-written rules of being a teenage girl!

1.      Never like the same person as your bestfriend(or at least don’t tell them) it can get ugly…

2.      Keep your secrets to yourself!!!!!! I don’t know how more to express this! Just know that some of your “friends” aren’t really your friends..

3.      Be yourself around the guy you like…they’ll most likely like you more.

4.      If you like a guy, don’t tell him right away…they get weirded out.

And here are just some….

Un-written rules for teenagers!

1.      Guys… if its cold, give her your sweater..even if its just a friend. It’ll show her you care.

2.      If someone has the remote and they leave to use the restroom or something….TAKE THE REMOTE c:

3.      If you don’t someone, don’t tell everybody! That’s how rumors start and a fight is bound to happen.

4.      If your mom/dad isn’t acting the same or they seem kind of upset…DO NOT ASK FOR SOMETHING!!!!! It’s a baaaadddd idea..

5.      If your boyfriend/girlfriend is in a bad mood or upset….ask what’s wrong. It helps.

These aren’t the best un-written rules but they are bound to help someone at some given
