Murphy's Laws for Children

(I saw these on line and had to share)

Murphy’s Laws for Children:

• When you need to carry a child they will want to walk.
• When you want them to walk they will want to be carried.
• When you bring the stroller they will want to walk.
• When you forget the stroller they will want to ride.
• The more potential a food has for stains the greater the coverage area when it is hurled by a child.
• A child's favorite one day is never a favorite the next day (especially food). The intensity of the tantrum is directly proportional to the amount of people around to witness.
• If it's mine it's mine, if it's yours it's mine, if I like it is mine, if I can take it from you it is mine, if I am playing with something ALL of the pieces are mine, if I think it is mine it is, if I saw it first it's mine, if I had it then put it down it is still mine, if you had it then you put it down it is now mine, if it looks like the one I have at home it is mine, if it is broken it is yours.
• If I make a mess you must clean it up
• If I broke it, its your fault
• Soccer, Dance, Basketball, Softball, Piano, Girl(Boy)Scouts (etc.) is always on the same day with less then 5 minutes between.
• The more preparation time for the meal the less likely a child is to eat it.
• As soon as the child is in the car and the car has left the driveway the child will have to use the bathroom.
• The clothes/shoes you bought last week will not fit this week or will not be "cool" enough for this week.
• The greater the importance of the phone call the louder the tantrum the child will have.

and for my friends Nancy and Christy......as soon as your children get settled in to school, they will get sick and have to stay home.
