Episode 16: The Rule Makers

Ahoy, crew! The captain made a rule. "NO COOKIES AFTER LUNCH!" So I didn't eat any. I really wanted one. But rules are rules! But THEN I saw the captain in the kitchen eating a COOKIE! After lunch! HIS rule! HE broke it! I said "HEY! You said no cookies!" And he said: "That rule is for YOU. Not for ME." But that's NOT FAIR! A rule is a rule! You met the Rule Makers! Some captains make rules for YOU that THEY don't follow. "Don't do this! Don't do that!" But watch THEM. They do whatever they want! Liberty Lesson: If someone makes a rule, watch them. Do THEY follow it? If the rule is so good—why don't THEY have to do it? Jab: Imagine your big brother says "No one touches the toys!" Then HE plays with them. You'd say "HEY!" Same thing! If you don't follow your OWN rule, it's not a real rule. It's just bossing people around! Quest: Next time someone makes a rule, watch them. Do they follow it too? Ask: "Does this rule count for YOU?" Real rules are for EVERYONE! Liberty Pirates play fair—captains too! #LibertyPirates #RulesForEveryone #PlayFair
