Rules of Possession - For Toddlers (and my wife).

1. If I like it - It's mine.

2. If it's in my hand - It's mine.

3. If I can take it from you - It's mine.

4. I I had it a little while ago - It's mine.

5. If it is mine, it must never ever appear to be yours.

6. If it looks like mine - It's mine.

7. If I'm doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.

8. If I saw it first - It's mine.

9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.

10. If it's broken - It's yours.
