Mommy's Law

I'm sure most of you are familiar with Murphy's Law, the adage that "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong." If you don't have children, you might be less familiar with the somewhat similar Mommy's Law.

Some examples of Mommy's Law:

Late for an appointment, mommy rushes to get her children ready to go. With only seconds to spare, she rounds everyone up and herds them towards the door. Victorious! But then she picks up the baby, and an unmistakable smell wafts from the diaper that's too odorifous to ignore. Crap. Late again.

In a spurt of unusual energy, mommy cleans everyone's room and changes the sheets on all the beds. A few hours later at naptime, someone has a pee pee accident and the sheets that have never been slept in are ripped off and thrown in the wash.

Mommy decides to wear a nice black shirt out in public. Looking down a long while later, she notices that there is a trail of snot slime along her shoulder and arm where someone has decided to use as a kleenex.

Yes, these are all true examples of Mommy's Law, and yes, they have all happened to me...today.
