IM from my bedroom to upstairs
IMFROMBAGGAGE: Hey, since you guys weren’t around in the spring, I have to tell you some important rules.
IMFROMCALLIE: Ok, what are they?
IMFROMBAGGAGE: I’m going to tell you, but tell Izzy too.
IMFROMCALLIE: Ok.
IMFROMBAGGAGE: 1) DO NOT TALK WHEN GREY’S ANATOMY IS ON.
IMFROMBAGGAGE: 2) DO NOT MAKE NOISE WHEN GREY’S ANATOMY IS ON.
IMFROMBAGGAGE: 3) THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THESE RULES IS IF THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE OR YOU ARE BEING ATTACKED BY DEMENTORS.
IMFROMCALLIE: LOL. Ok I got it. 
IMFROMBAGGAGE: I think the rules for Grey’s Anatomy are the same as the rules for the 9th inning of a late September Cubs game.
IMFROMCALLIE: LOL. If you say so.
IMFROMBAGGAGE: Another important rule would be not to hit me every five seconds so I have to call your social worker and then you get hospitalized and I miss all of Grey’s Anatomy.
IMFROMCALLIE: LOL! Ok, I promise.
IMFROMCALLIE: Our house has the most unique rules.

Just so you know? My kid has used “being attacked by Dementors” as a reason not to go to bed.

Can we comment on your posts during Grey’s Anatomy? I promise not to hit too much either.

oh my gosh, I feel so old. I just had to look up “dementors” on google
“Dementors”
Definition: Dementors are hooded dark arts creatures who used to follow Voltemort. They currently are the guards for Azkaban. They have the ability to suck all good thoughts out of those around them. Their kiss is a fate worst than death as it will steal your soul.
who knew?

My friend was teaching a class our of her home while living in the inner city. Her kids were teens and LOVED to interrupt class to tattle on one another or ask what might be in the casserole dish. One night she told them, “Unless you are bleeding, or on fire, DO NOT DISTURB!”
One night, during class, a bullet comes through the window. The kids took a vote and decided that since it was only the ONE bullet and no one was bleeding, it would have to wait. They weren’t being fresh either, they really debated it before deciding not to interrupt. Then said friend had to explain to police why the report came TWO HOURS after the incident.
Needless to say, the rules were amended to include bullets in the living room. Who knew!
And “being attacked by dementors” leaves way too much wiggle room, IMO!

I agree. your house does have the most unique rules! But Grey’s Anatomy warrants special rules.
Do you like the spin off, Private Practice, so far? I’m not sure about it myself… Maybe I’m just to LOYAL to Grey’s Anatomy!

Thank you crayon. I had absolutely no idea dementors was a word. I thought Baggage made up to mean demented demons or something. hmmm. Yes, definitely unique rules.
