Murphy's Household Laws
A child's eagerness to assist in any project varies in inverse proportion to his ability to actually do the work
involved
Leftovers always expand to fill all available containers plus one
A newly washed window gathers dirt at twice the speed of an unwashed one
The availability of a ball-point pen is inversely proportional to how badly it is needed
The same clutter that will fill a one-car garage will fill a two-car garage
Three children plus two cookies equals a fight
The potential for disaster is in direct proportion to the number of TV remote-controls divided by the number of
viewers
The number of doors left open varies inversely with the outside temperature
The capacity of any water-heater is equal to one and a half sibling showers
What goes up must come down, except bubble gum and slightly used cereal
