Mummy’s Law #1 – 3 seconds : The time you enter the bathroom to take a bath/shower = inversely proportional to the urgency with which all three children need to use the same facilities at the same time, further accelerated with repeated poundings on the door with “Mommmeee…. I need to use the bathroom” although there are other washrooms free and ready to be used.
Mummy’s Law #2 – Also known as the Toilet Paper/Hand Towel/Toothpaste/Any other item in the bathroom Fairy – All items mentioned above are miraculously replaced by the same and one and only as soon as they are depleted/depleting.
Mummy’s Law #3 – The degree of hurt, ‘booboo’ is inversely proportional to the warmth of the kiss on the area in question. Specially works for 4 year olds; properties tend to wear off as the subject grows older. Level of skepticism elevated among teens but interestingly enough, as one grows older, read 40 and above, the ‘magic kiss’ still weaves its enchantment. Nothing quite like a soft hand on a fevered brow, no matter how old you are….
Mummy’s Law #4 – The day you wake up late ( you sleep through the alarm), the maid doesn’t turn up, you have five minutes to wake the kids up AND get them ready, serve them breakfast, somehow manage to pack their lunch for the day and ten minutes later, after you think you have pulled off the impossible, the kids are back with “School is closed…… yaaaaaay” :p
Mummy’s Law #5 – You lose five pounds, get a new haircut, feel ready to take on the world and your son announces to everyone present “ You know something? Mommy is 41…”
There are only two things a child will share willingly - communicable diseases and his mother's age. ~Benjamin Spock, Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care, 1945
