Murphy's Laws of Parenting

-Upon removal of the baby's bib, even after baby has burped, the baby will inevitably spit up.
-Hand-me-down outfits stay perfectly clean. New ones are spit up on.
-Corollary #1: The more the outfit cost, the more the baby will spit up on it.
-Corollary #2: If mother is wearing a ratty old T-shirt, not a drop of drool will come out of baby's mouth. If mother puts on a new cashmere sweater, whammo!
-If baby has been an absolute angel all day while alone with mother, baby will fuss and cry the minute a play date begins.
-The baby will sleep when mother needs her to be awake (like during a music class or when someone has dropped by to see the precious one) and stay awake when mother needs baby to be asleep (for instance, at 10pm when mother wants to go to bed).
-Baby shall always achieve a new milestone, such as rolling over onto her tummy, the minute mother leaves the room. Someone else will witness it, in order that mother may be told how great it was and what a shame it was that she missed it.
