How Does The Universe Know When A Mother Has Sat Down For A Minute?

It never fails. If a mother sits down to take a break for just a moment she is inundated with any and all of the following:

• The phone will ring with a sales call
• Children will show up holding some vital body part covered in blood
• The neighbor you don’t have time to talk to will decide to visit
• Your in-laws will show up without warning
• The mailman has a letter that requires a signature
• The baby will suddenly wake up and start to wail
• The clothes washer will spin off balance
• The hot water hose to the clothes washer will also break at that same moment
• The dog decides to throw up on the carpet at that moment
• The laxative you took last night suddenly decides to kick in

How is it that the Universe can hold everything together until a mother decides to plop down in a chair for just a moment to catch her breath? It’s like some type of warning goes off that sends a signal for things to instantly fall apart at that very same moment.

It just proves the theory that the Universe and everything in it is all connected in some way. If you don’t believe that then try sitting down and relaxing for just a moment.

The phone’s ringing….
