I will not growl or fuss at my mother or father. I will be polite and pleasant. I will do what my parents ask of me. When I am called for meals I will come immediately. I will say, “Yes sir,” or “Yes ma’am,” when my parents tell me to do something. I will do my schoolwork in a pleasant and productive manner. I will be on time for Mass, lessons, or errands. I will ask Mommy or Daddy if I can be of assistance and help my little brothers and/or sisters.

I will not be surly, uncooperative, disobedient or nasty. I will not be bossy or bicker with my siblings. I will follow the Ten Commandments as best as I can and try to do what the Child Jesus would do if he were in our family.

I hope this is it.
