Four very different friends. One pair of special pants. And a summer apart...

We, the Sisterhood, hereby instate the following rules to govern the use of the Travelling Pants:

1. You must never wash the pants.
2. You must never double-cuff the Pants. It's tacky.
3. You must never say the word 'phat' while wearing the Pants. You must also never think to yourself 'I am fat' while wearing the Pants.
4. You must never let a boy take off the Pants (although you may take them off yourself in his presence).
5. You must not pick your nose while wearing the Pants. You may, however, scratch casually at your nostril while really kind of picking.
6. Upon our reunion, you must follow the procedures for documenting your time in the Pants.
7. You must write to your Sisters throughout the summer, no matter how much fun you are having without them.
8. You may only possess the Pants for a specified length of time before passing them on to one of your Sisters. Failure to comply will result in a severe spanking upon our reunion.
9. You must not wear the Pants with a tucked-in shirt and belt. See rule #2.
10. Remember: Pants = love. Love your pals. Love yourself..
