Ah, rules.  They separate us from the beasts of the jungle and add order to our lives.  Shall we take a look at the newest set of rules in the Paulsen house?  We shall, indeed.

In response to an obvious breach of sibling personal space, 7-year-old Ben posted the following rules on his bedroom door.

Rule 1 – Don’t come in without permission.

(Seems reasonable.)

Rule 2 – Don’t play with my stuff.

(A little selfish, but understandable.)

Rule 3 – Don’t break Brian Dozier.

(Fine, we promise not to “break” Minnesota Twins All-Star Second Baseman Brian Dozier.  Wait!  What?  Ben is housing a tenant in his room?!?  Time to shake him down for a portion of the proceeds.  I don’t see that forbidden in the rules.)

The Rest of the Rules…  who cares?  My son has a Major League Baseball player as a roommate.  Time to ask for some box seats.

Strange, but you would think Mr. Dozier would look more relaxed at home.  I guess pros are always at work perfecting their craft.
