Why? Because I said so. Has a nice ring to it, right? Even better, though (and more specific): because it’s a rule in our house. In Episode 173 Meagan and Sarah are talking about the beauty and hilarity of arbitrary rules, drawing from our own experience and some genius listener suggestions. Join us!

We had an arbitrary rule when I was growing up… “No singing at the dinner table.” My dad was a musician and the whole family was musical, but my mom would not let us drum or sing at the dinner table.
We had this rule growing up too! And it came from a rule my mom had in her house growing up before that!
