For little dc.
Do not bounce on the indoor little trampoline whilst it is still in the under stairs cupboard.

For big dc
Do not attempt to jump onto the outdoor trampoline from the top of the climbing frame, going over the safety net.

"Your breath smells" is not a defence when someone is telling you off.
Nobody is interested in what Justin Bieber was doing today, yesterday or ever.
