The Law of Being Quiet....Tookie has been fighting a nap all day. She only took a ten minute nap at the end of the car ride and she is desperately trying to fall asleep. You get her into her crib, she quickly falls asleep, all is calm in the world- the dogs are napping- you tip toe out thinking "Ahhh...if she sleeps for the next 45 minutes I can get (dishes,shower,laundry,lunch,dusting,vacuuming,mopping,dog maintenance,reading,online shopping for that THING) done" and you SNEEZE unexpectedly and wake her up. Murphy's Law of Being Quiet is that as hard as you physically try to be quiet you will sneeze, walk into the wall, stub your toe, slam your hand, drop something or choke on your cold lunch.
The Law comes back to slap you in the face because the same exact scenario could take place and the baby could sleep right through it. You would stare quickly at your sleeping baby willing her to stay asleep, slowly back out of the room staring at the baby thinking "Phew...it's not like the other day" and BAM accidentally misjudge how fast you were closing the door and slam it or step on one of the dogs. You pick...either scenario Tookie might wake up...she might not...she might stay asleep after all of this and the dogs will bark...they might not...Murphy is a punk isn't he...
