Mommy's Law

If Murphy gets one, then I want one too.

Mommy's Law states: If one child is in need of a nap, the other child will undoubtedly decide he/she needs Mommy's attention - and all of it! - at that exact moment. This child will use force, projected voice, or whatever means necessary to procure such attention.

A variation continues: If one child is asleep and suddenly awakens, the other child will hurriedly thrust him/herself into Mommy's arms, wailing "Mommy hold you!" so the mother has difficulty reaching the now-screaming first child.

These are the laws by which I live my life.
