Isn’t it funny how…

 

-You couldn’t stand the taste of that horrid tomato soup your mother would make as you were growing up but now as a mother you find that it’s the only soup you will make for the kids?

 

– The phone will ring (or the Fedex chap will ring the doorbell ten million times) just as you gently lay your baby to sleep?

 

– It’s always your ice-cream cone that has a teensy weensy hole at the bottom? (and yes you’re wearing that gorgeous black dress as you enjoy that melting disaster!)

 

– The line you stand in at the grocery store always seems longer than the other lines. And if you do decide to switch lines somewhere along, your new line suddenly starts to move at snail’s pace? (or the cashier finds that he needs to call somebody from the other end of the store for a price check?)

 

-You always carry an extra change of clothes, diapers and wipes for the baby but on that one instance when you forget to throw the “essentials” bag into the car, your baby has the biggest poop explosion you’ve ever seen?

 

– You see all the cars around you zipping well past the speed limit so you decide to over shoot that 65 miles mph by a single mile and the cop decides that your car is the one he’s going to flag down?

 

-All this is funny when it happens to other people…but not to you!

  1. Or a bird poops on your dress as your walking out the door already running late for church on Mother’s Day.

    Yes. True Story.

    1. Oh my goodness!! I hope you went home and changed…cleaned up bird poop patches stink!!!!…BIG TIME!!!

  2. White clothing seems to have a magnetic field that attracts tomato sauce, strawberries, and purple markers.

    Thanks for sharing. I love a good laugh!

    1. I agree! I don’t know what it is about white clothes. I can wear any other color and manage to not get a single thing on my all day, but put me in white and suddenly I’m worse than a toddler when eating! I have to wear a white shirt for my seasonal job, and I even drink my coffee through a straw to avoid catastrophe.

    2. I KNOOOOOOOWWWW…Pasta sauce…ugh!! That’s why I don’t own a white dress. I’m a Mommy!! 😉

  4. LOL this is all soooo true! It ALWAYS happens this way… just like that song, “Isn’t it ironic”.

  5. I actually have a sign beside my doorbell for the Fed Ex/UPS guy to just leave packages unless a signature is required… and most of them respect it…

    1. I have a sign that says leave your footwear outside and EVERYONE walks in with their shoes on!! We’ve now instructed our 5 year old to mention the sign. When it comes from a kid it’s excused…lol!
