No!!!

Yes, (evil laughter), another Mommy Blog (more evil laughter)!!! Life is a story, mine at the moment just happens to occur mostly at home, which means no sword fights or dragons, but plenty of peril, misadventure, and food. Like all good stories we will skip the boring parts (like laundry). So gird up your loins and let us commence with some real domestic adventures; don't forget your sense of humor.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics and its relationship to domestic life incorporating juvenile offspring less than three years of age.

Many have heard of Murphy's Law: anything that can go wrong, will.  But I have met a few who claim that MacDonald's Law is a better rule to live by, namely: Murphy was an optimist.  Whether you see either of these dictums as true or laugh at them both as silly nonsense, I know for a fact that toddlers are the physical force responsible for some, if not all of the chaos that results.  If you do not believe in either rule, you have never spent time with a small child.  They are also employed by more scientifically accepted Rules like (my personal favorite) the Second Law of Thermodynamics which states that, 'the entropy (or chaos) in the Universe is always increasing.'  Want to see physics in action?  Simply take any room, clean and arrange it to your heart's content, and then turn a small child loose for five minutes.  Voila!  Entropy in action!  Forget the old yarn about an apple hitting Newton on the head, rather imagine one poor episode of babysitting and what it must have done for the field of Physics!  Yes, this is completely ridiculous, but it is still fun.  At least I know how to compose a decent scientific article title, maybe someone should write a thesis on it.  They've written one on just about everything else...
