Remember on New Years Eve, while sitting in the sweltering heat, getting drunk on my own while MPS was out ‘doof doofing’ aka DJing at a club, on our anniversary no less, I wrote a little post about the 10 Commandments I was going to enforce in the coming year?
Well lets just see how they are coming along hey?
Chez Magneto Bold 10 Commandments – May update:
1. Thou shalt not sit on the toilet with the door open, fan off, and use all the fucking paper without replacing the roll.
And no freaking using-up-to-the-last-square-and-then-ripping-some-off-the-new-roll- so-you-don’t-have-to-replace-it shit. Or I will whip you with the toilet brush. Just after I have cleaned the toilet.
Oh, and while I’m on the subject. For all that is good on God’s green earth FLUSH! There is nothing worse than someone else’s piss splash back.
Hmmmm, well tonight I needed to ‘use the facilities’. I went into the main bathroom. A turd smiled up at me while it was bobbing with its friends, the excrement covered paper on the floor beside the brown streaked blanket. I decided to go to the ensuite instead. Distinct smell of urine and No. Fucking. Paper.
So we can safely say Commandment numero uno has been broken.
2. Thou shalt not complain that you have nothing to wear and then empty your floordrobe in the laundry, expecting The Almighty Mummy to wash it all. Including the shit that is still freaking folded. Be warned, you pull that crap and I will return it to your room. After I have farted on it.
I better stock up on beans cause I gotz me a lotta farting to do. My biatches emptied their floordrobes in the laundry today.
3. Thou shalt do what I say. When I say. End of conversation. I can rain war and pestilence and no freaking phone credit or internet access on your arse.
Well even I will concede that those were lofty goals…
4. Thou shalt not touch Almighty Mummy’s computer. Unless given permission. And asking me while I am half asleep or before my first bucket-o-latte does not constitute permission. I am not held responsible for anything I say during these times. Or when I am holding new shoes. I am speaking in tongues, not saying yes to you.
I can give a big ol’ tick for that one. And a smiley face. Got nothing to do with the fact that the biatches got new computers for Christmas that were upgraded a few days later…
5. Thou shalt open freaking EYES or move shit when looking for things. Standing in the middle of the room waiting for said item to jump out at you will not work. Unless it is the back of my hand. That’ll work.
Still working on. But it has been mad fun saying ‘here it is!’ and wacking them upside the head. While wearing some big arsed rings.
6. Thou shalt put away clothes properly. This does not mean the end of the bed or on the floor. Unless it is in your own room. Then I don’t give a shit what you do as long as said clothes do not end up back in the laundry. See Commandment #2.
again… see Commandment #2.
7. Thou shalt not ask for money within 6 hours of saying no to the Almighty Mummy. The Almighty Mummy has a looooooong freaking memory. Any reference to elephants will end in tears. Yours. When I take away your ipods and replace your Emo music with my favourite techno. (this will be hard to enforce as we actually like the same music)
I have circumvented this one with ‘Get a job!’ to Moo. Too has a shiteload of money. I often run to The Bank Of Too when I haven’t had a chance to get to the ATM.
8. Thou shalt do homework before playing on the computer. Oldest infidel, you are in VCE now. You have homework every night. Yes you do. I will ring your teachers. And invite them over. And they will come cause I can be very persuasive. Infidel-that-was-born-second (cause apparently ‘middle child’ fucks up psyches or somesuch. I prefer using my own methods) you don’t get off easy. Your friends got more honours than you did last year. What the fuck? I don’t care that you got six A’s and the rest were B’s. More study for you. *snort*
Internet has been ‘limited’. Fuckers got around it by playing Sims.
9. Thou shalt not walk in the room and start talking at me when I am blogging. This really really pisses the Almighty Mummy off. You will walk in, kneel on the floor with eyes averted until your presence is acknowledged. Wear knee pads. It could be a long wait.
This commandment rocks. They walk in, they speak, I point to the ground and they wander off mumbling something about ‘loser’ or whatever…. fuck me dead I just lost The Game…. and so did you.
10. Thou shalt love everything that I cook. And then praise the Almighty Mummy for her culinary prowess, even if it is soup. From a can. That you reheated yourself. I bought the bastard and you will bow to me.
Bowing is a bit light, but they ain’t whinging. As much.
11. Thou shalt not stand in front of a full fridge and/or pantry and bitch that there is nothing to eat. I am not a fucking mind reader and the store doesn’t stock ‘I don’t know’. I asked. They don’t. Have an apple.
This one is still doing my fucking head in. I even drag them to the supermarket with me and they are all ‘I dunno’ and ‘chocolate!’ and shit.
So I buy shit loads of apples. With a sign on the fruit bowl ‘Fresh and tasty I don’t know’
Problem solved.

I am so linking this. #11 is my fave, closely followed by #’s 1-10.
Solomon stole my comment.
#5!!! Oh. My. GOD!!! Can you enforce that from AU? I so desperately need to get me some big ass rings …
floordrobe? omigod, that is the best ever.
and if you truly found the answer to no. 11, i’m shipping roo-girl off to your house.
Oh my hell!!!! I’m dying over here! You are a genius
“Thou shalt not walk in the room and start talking at me when I am blogging… You will walk in, kneel on the floor with eyes averted until your presence is acknowledged. Wear knee pads. It could be a long wait.” — I’m running to the store to have this blown up into a sign to place on my bedroom door!
Now that was funny. Floordrobe… I hate when you come up with something funnier than me! Stop it. I thought sure there was going to be something there was going to be something about shoe compliments or chocolate offerings to appease the almighty(you).
I so need to print up a blogging manifesto just like yours. When my hands are on the keyboard, thou shalt not regale me with your World of Warcraft feats, which annoy the living crap out of me, and which I never ever listen to. Bad mom. Bad. Not.
OMG!!! Dying here!
My “‘tween” drives me absolutely ape-shit with #2! And then, has the *nerve* to tell me it’s because, “you NEVER buy me ANY clothes, MoooooM!!!” I threaten, every morning, to send her to school in her pj’s… I think she thinks I won’t do it.
Guess what? She’s started laying her clothes out the night before and bitching WAY less!!!
I am *so* with you on Every. Single. Other. One.
:: sigh ::
Thanks for the laugh, tho
I definitely feel your pain!!
Is it copyright infringement if I print this and hang in on every wall in my house?
Jodie above felt your pain so much that she sent me a link to you via email…and here I am…laughing my ass off!
Loved this post. When she mentioned that you could be our long lost sibling, I had no idea how right she was!!!
LOLOLOLOL!
I loooove the pointing to the floor…oh, man, will that WORK!!?? I’m up for anything!
Absolutely hilarious!!! Great wit! I love this stuff!
‘Fresh and tasty I don’t know’.
I’m making one of those signs.
Thanks!
Tell Princess Putrid and the Emo Enchantress that clean clothes delivered from the floordrobe to the laundry shall be offered to Boo as blanket substitutes.
LMFAO
They were brilliant back when you first wrote ‘em and they still make me pmsl.
Feral Queen just trained her house mate with the dunny paper thing by having her own personal roll hidden in her room while the house mate got caught out several times before she learnt to replace the f%^&ing paper.
Solomon: Yeah, number 11 is probably the most frustrating. Closely followed by numbers 1-10
Maria: gotta be quicker! I hate it when people do that.
Maternal Mirth: I find ones with sharp pointy bits the most persuasive.
The planet of Janet: Perhaps I should make signs for all food in the house saying ‘I don’t know’
Sandy: Ahem. Methinks your husband *may* take that the wrong way… just sayin’.
VE: They already know to compliment my shoes and offer chocolate to appease my wrath. They learnt that at a very young age, survival you could call it.
Witchypoo: My girls want WoW. Not getting it. It is bad enough that I have to put up with tales of Sim houses, MSN conversations and shit about MySpace ‘celebrities’…
Jodie: I think all of us that have dropped a kid outta our nether regions have the same pain.
Mr Lady: No, but do you really want your children to learn to read ‘Kelley speak’?
Candid: It works in that it gets them to leave me the fuck alone!
Coast Rat: I never know how to react to comment like this, so, um, thankyou…
Frogdancer: Awesome. I find printing it in a nice green is very calming.
Anja: *snort* fabulous idea that.
Jayne: Yeah, having a bit of bloggy block. So I thought I would revisit the commandments.
OMG. YOU crack me up. Why don’t you live by me????? We would have so much goddamn fun!
Brilliant! I need one for my ex?-partner: If I’ve just given thee food, thou shalt not ask if it’s off. Penalty shall be off food. And compulsory consumption. A self-fulfilling prophesy kind of penalty. Either that or thou shalt feed thyself. For ever and ever. Amen.
I agree #11 is the worst. My hubby hates me spending “too much” at the supermarket, then complains all week that he hasn’t had a “proper” meal and he’s starving.Problem wasn’t solved by sending him to do the grocery shopping.
See… in my family, “I don’t know” is my aunts specialist dish. Me “What is this?” Uncle “I don’t know!” I think she reads recipes and ignores them entirely. Canned soup sounds very good while at her house.
P.S. DAMN I just read your comment on my blog… and lost the game!
Ann: Well start saving your Margarita money and come to Australia so we can par-tay!
Hilary: *snort* I will pray to that!
River: Send a man shopping and they come back with crap. It is written in the book of Cyril.
Kath: Biatch! Now to wake a child to spread the loseressness… yeah, it is so a word.
I don’t want an apple. I want a cupcake. Give me a fucking cupcake!
Brilliante! I am displaying this in 24 point type. As I tell my children, Queen Elisabeth loved her little dwarf lady in waiting, and they could easily be replaced with two dwarfs. Or midgets. Or even monkeys.
I am cracking up over here. Please print these out on stone tablets so I can throw them on my family.
I mean “at” my family.
No. I mean “on” my family.
Mr Fabulous: At least you know what the fuck you want!
Deb on the Rocks: Or NINJAS! *swoon* I loves me some ninja action…
Jenny: Or rectally insert. Works with drugs…
Thankyou Kelley. I have had a rough week with the teenage son from hell.
It was good to be reminded that your commandments are the same as mine…
*stomps away not quite as grumpy*
