Friday if I was in charge?
At long last, your day has come. You've been put in charge. Now, everybody must do as you say. List ten changes you would make, if only people would do the sensible thing and appoint you to call the shots.
Ida's take on this
Seriously, you guys want me to answer this? This could get drastic. Or very mundane.
1. No one is allowed to pick on my kids anymore. Especially my eldest daughter and my youngest son.
2. For the next six months, the local TV and movie industries will be banned from showing melodrama series, game shows, and moronic movies. In lieu of this, the population will be enjoined to read. We shall evaluate the resulting improvement in IQ and critical thinking skills.
3. China is *not* allowed to claim the waters and islands within 200 nautical miles of the Philippine mainland. There.
4. Oil prices will be regulated so they don't go through the roof.
5. No parents will come to me asking me to 'fix' their kids, when it's THEM who should be hauled to parenting class.
6. Ethan will not be allowed to have more than 1 drink at a party, or to look at any other woman who is not Celine.
7. Mark isn't allowed to dodge doing the dishes or cleaning the yard. It's only fair since much of the rest of the house is my responsibility.
8. No one is allowed to run for public office unless he or she can present a clear cut and concrete plan for addressing national issues, and present a signed waiver allowing for the public to examine his/her assets and bank transactions. How's that for transparency?
9. Mom isn't allowed to call me at any earlier than 7am or later than 9pm UNLESS the matter is one of life or death (someone has to be bleeding or on the verge of cardiovascular collapse).
10. There can never be too much chocolate.
