Humorous responses from a SAHMfairydust1February 23 2006, 17:06:03 UTC
Pretty days are busiest b/c it is Murphy's law. Same for #2 - the days you are ready to have fun ALWAYS will be full of non-fun work. Children exhaust parents because reverse osmosis gives them OUR energy. Why do you think they are able to keep going and going and going ... ? Children who want to be independent have an internal need for Mom and Dad to WATCH them be independent, thereby cancelling the net result of independence by the fact that we're "right there." We want more of them because the parenting gene wrestled the sanity gene and won. ;) Naps have a karmic way of being interrupted at the most inopportune time as a way of reminding us as parents that we can't control the universe (darn!). Kids go back to the same place and bonk themselves repeatedly because they want hugs and kisses to make it all better, even if it hurts to get it *giggle*. The sleepy child will desperately try to stay awake because they KNOW they will miss something if they close their eyes (lol). The questions have solutions, but not for good

Ah, but each of those answers has a potential solution, though:
Kill Murphy. Sometimes you just gotta break the law. This is how we stopped being British, right?
Wear impermeable clothing, or attach batteries to the kids extremeties to over-charge him. Soak him in water until his exterior cells are too full to absorb additional material through osmosis.
Mirrors. Everywhere.
Gene therapy.
Sound deprivation chambers.
Reach out and thwack the kid periodically, thereby giving them attention AND the bonk on the head AND the chance to scream a little.
Pin their eyes open - masking tape works just as well as duct tape for this, and leaves fewer marks.
And since I don't think any of these solutions are reasonable, by extension your answers aren't either. :)
