Obeying Speed Limits

Have you ever found yourself telling your children something like:

Hey, Tim, stop running with knives in the kitchen after your sister!

or

Our bedroom is not a racetrack, stop running around the house and go [insert one here] outside/to the playroom/to bed.

Well, Maggie took the message to heart and created speed limit signs for the different rooms and areas of the house.

Tim and Susanna's room had six different signs. 10 by the door (there is a blind curve where multiple crashes have occurred).





By Susanna's bed the speed limit was 16 to prevent backup and congestion, her diapers violate that "regular"ly



By his desk, the speed limit was 21... and 9... no idea...





Near the laundry basket the speed limit was 23, the highest in the house. Perhaps to indicate the speed at which they pretend to do their chores.

Finally, by the ladder up to his bed and the window the speed limit was 22. The speed at which he jumps down and defies ankle breaking on a daily basis.



After posting the signs. Maggie demonstrated to Tim and Ami what the different speeds were through various speed-walking demonstrations. Since Ami never moves past 9, the established law will not be difficult for her to obey

Tim on the other hand...

hey, put those knives back in the kitchen now buster!
