RULES OF THE HOUSE
Ever notice that the laws of household physics are every bit as real
as all other laws of the universe? Here are a few examples:
1. A child's eagerness to assist in any project varies in inverse
proportion to his ability to do the work involved.
2. Leftovers always expand to fill all available containers plus one.
3. A newly washed window gathers dirt at double the speed of an
unwashed window.
4. The availability of a ballpoint pen is inversely proportional to
how badly it is needed.
5. The same clutter that will fill a one-car garage will fill a
two-car garage.
6. Three children plus two cookies equals a fight.
7. The potential fir disaster is in direct proportion to the number
of TV remote-controls divided by the number of viewers.
8. The number of doors left open varies inversely with the outdoor
temperature.
9. The capacity of any hot-water heater is equal to one and one-half
sibling showers.
