Dear Dr. Know,
There are too many rules! At 6:00 a.m., my mom says, “Get up now and make your bed!” After breakfast； my mom always says, “Don’t leave the dirty dishes in the kitchen !w After that, 1 run to school because I cant be late. At school, we have more rules 一 don’t be noisy, don’t eat in class；…
My dad says I can’t play basketball after school because I must do my homework. I can play only on weekends. After dinner, I can’t relax either. I must read a book before I can watch TV But I have to go to bed before 10:00.
Rules, rules, rules! Its terrible! What can I do, Dr. Know?

Dear Molly,
I know how you feel. People always tell us, “Don’t do this!” or “You cant do that!” But think about it, Molly; There are a lot of things you can do. You can play basketball on weekends. You can watch TV after you read a book.
Parents and schools are sometimes strict, but remember} they make rules to help us. We have to follow them.
Good luck!
Dr. Know
