Murphy’s Law
I don’t remember exactly what Murphy’s Law is but I’m pretty sure it’s “What can go wrong will.” Tonight was no exception to that rule. My bff and I were babysitting for six kids and it actually wasn’t too bad in fact we thought “Wow this isn’t so bad.” Then I went to put the baby to bed and all hell broke loose. Let me start with, I thought the stove top was off but it was actually only on low (it’s an electric oven), so I put a cheerios box on top of the oven. When I came down from putting the baby to bed my bff was vacuuming the cheerios off the floor. She explained that she took the box off the oven and the cheerios went flying all over the floor. If that wasn’t bad enough then all the kids were in bed and there was popcorn and cheerios all over the living room floor. So my bff decided to vacuum it up and some of the lights went off. It turns out that one of circuits blew causing the TV, one of the lights in the living room, the dish washer, and the kitchen light to go out. Luckily the computer worked because otherwise we would have been stuck with no entertainment for four hours.
