This project is where you find a rule that you always hhear from adults (or used to!) and write the real reason why there is that rule.
Each entry can include
1. The Classic Rule
2. The Normal Reason
3. The Truth (Your reason)
These rules can be as wacky as you want and they can be based on any kind of rule (school rule, law of nature, etc)
Here are my examples:
Rule 713:
Don’t ride on swivel chairs.
The Reason:
“They’re dangerous”
The Truth:
Swivel chairs used to be real people, but a plague in 1980’s turned them all into swivel chairs. Adults still feel the pain of losing their dear friends, so they would rather you sit in the chair instead of having fun riding on them.
Rule ∞:
Don’t talk to strangers
The Reason:
“They’re creepy!!”
The Truth:
Strangers are all really secret agents from Mars who want to enlist you into the Imperial Mars Army. Mars is at war with Neptune, our ally, so adults don’t want us to betray Neptune.
Rule 3.141592…:
Don’t wear hats in school
The Reason;
“They’re distracting.”
The Truth:
Teachers are just jealous because you have a cool hat and they don’t.
Rule 71.386999999…:
You must be over 18 to vote.
The Reason:
“Anyone who’s not a legal adult cannot make the right choices for themselves (yeah right…).”
The Truth:
Voting polls and absentee ballots can sense when someone is under 18, so they’ll gobble you up and turn you into a shiny new fountain pen. This is because voting polls and absentee ballots are rigged anyway, so the criminals add on this extra feature for only $19.95 ($2:00 SPH)!
Rule 1:
The majority of humans have two legs.
The Reason:
“That was just the way that humans evolved.”
The Truth:
Humans used to have three legs, but in 1923 everyone lost one when Rombulans flooded Earth with electro-static plasma shockwaves so everyone had gotten radiation sickness.
Rule 204:
No running near a pool.
The Reason:
“It’s not safe”
The Truth:
There are goblins living underneath the pavement surrounding a pool because they like the moist climate. The goblins are very intellectual people and they don’t like it when people stomp around above their homes when they are trying to read Tolkien’s entire works.
Rule 100000000000000.000000000000000000000000001:
The ocean is blue is very sunny and clear climates.
The Reason:
“The ocean reflects off the blue sky.”
The Truth:
The ocean contains millions of shiny blue plankton that light the water up blue during the day. At night the shiny black plankton come out and scare away all the shiny blue plankton to another part of the world.
