3. Remember to keep holy Kiddo’s designated Date Night.
4. Honor Kiddo’s time with her Father.
5. Thou shalt not kill, have killed, or maim any of thy outlaws. Thou shalt turn a deaf ear to anything and everything they say about you to others.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy Ex’s new girlfriend.
