These rules rule!

We are often faced with rules – usually negative ones, forbidding something.  Many non-German speakers know one German expression: Verboten! (Forbidden!). It doesn’t matter that they are  often for our own good, like this one:

65 rules 3

saying: Cross the road, it’s dangerous on this side!  They still prohibit something.

Children are more often faced with explicit rules.  This rule, though, is my all time favourite:

Spielen erwünscht

Playing welcome! Children and adults are allowed to laugh and romp around.   

In Munich I came across this sign:

nur mit Kindern

Playground for under 16s – Entry for adults only allowed if accompanied by children.  

Therefore there is one rule I try to follow (not always but often):

A fairly large – as dwarves go – dwarf sitting in the woods and … yes, he is doing exactly what you think he is doing.  Just look at his contented smile!
