DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE FROM STUPID RULES

The founding fathers of the United States guaranteed us freedom from the bonds of England, but are we truly free human beings?  I say no.  What about all of those pesky rules we have to follow in life like using the correct fork when we eat different foods or being nice to people we really don’t like?

Consider this topic around the 4th of July, “I am declaring my independence from X.” Seed the topic by giving some of the rules you are sick of following and then solicit others from your listeners.  Make a list of the top three to five things you and your listeners are declaring independence from and swear to break those rules on the 4th.

Here is my sample list of the five pesky rules I just might break on the 4th of July as I declare my independence from:

1.  Having to eat dessert last.  I’m always  too full after a meal to eat it.

2.  Adhering to the number of items in an express lane at the grocery store.  So what if I have 2 more than the limit?  Have some flexibility!

3.  Eating five servings of fruits and vegetables each day.   That’s why God invented vitamin tablets and fiber drinks.

4. Using a salad fork for only salad.  I like the smaller fork, it fits in my mouth better.

5.  Drinking only red wine with red meat and white wine with fish.  Poppycock!  What if I don’t like one or the other?  So I have to drink it anyway?
