We have a very important list in the Roderick house. You do not, under any circumstances, want to be on the "list". It is akin to Santa's naughty list, and oh, you must be a male to be placed on it.
One young man broke many Roderick house rules. He knew them, but assumed since he hung out with us quite frequently, the rules no longer applied to him. He was relegated to street boy, no longer welcome in our home until he was ready to respect our guidelines. Yep, he's on the "list".
Another male dated our oldest daughter for a couple years. They were quite fond of each other until they weren't. Kelsey left for England and this young man was placed on the "list" by her, his name no longer uttered in her presence. We still don't mention his name when she's home. She has trained us well. And, yea, he's still on the "list".
Several of the young males who have hung around in the past have obtained "list" status. Names I can not reveal, names that would shock you, names that are well known and some that are not, names that the girls have vowed never to murmur again, names that we as Roderick parents have taken liberty to place on the "list".
Many former suitors are on our "list". I am sure you know who you are and if I were you I would try to fix the situation as soon as possible. Believe me, you do not want to remain on the "list".
Once on it, all is not lost, if you are able to attain grace from the daughter you wronged. Believe me, though, it will not be an easy feat. Once a Roderick girl has been disrespected, woe to the male who crosses her again, or worse, does nothing.
The boy who shall not be named could be you.
