Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (#1) by Ann Brashares

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

We. The sisterhood., herby instate the following rules to govern the use of the Traveling Pants:

• You must never wash the pants.

• You must never double cuff the pants. It’s tacky. There will never be a time when this will not be tacky.

• You must never say the word “phat” while wearing the pants. You must also never think “I am fat” while wearing the pants.

• You must never let a boy take off the pants (although you may take them off yourself in his presence)

• You must not pick your nose while wearing the pants. You may, however, scratch casually at your nostrils while really kind of picking.

• Upon our reunion, you must follow the proper procedures for documenting your time in the pants.

• You must write to your sisters throughout the summer, no matter how much fun you are having without them.

• You must pass the pants along to your sisters according to the specifications set down by the Sisterhood. Failure to comply will result in a severe spanking upon our reunion.

• You must not wear the pants with a tucked-in shirt and belt. See rule #2.

• Remember: pants=love. Love your pals. Love yourself
