…you forget to put on deodorant in the morning and when you do finally put remember to put it on it doesn’t just erase the b.o. smell? Now you just smell like sweat AND flowers/baby powder/ocean breezes (whatever that is)?

…the battery in the smoke detector in the kids’ room dies at approximately 5:30am, resulting in a piercing BEEP every 30 seconds and TWO VERY AWAKE CHILDREN?

…in the middle of a busy morning of errands, you stop to use the washroom, and what with dragging both kids into the handicapped stall, keeping your two year old from flushing the toilet or opening the door to the stall while you’re doing your business, and trying to answer your four year old’s questions about What exactly IS a badger, Mommy? you FORGET TO DO UP YOUR FLY and walk around like this for a full hour and a half at a public playground before you realize your mistake?

…you discover that your two year old has been colouring on the WHITE SOFA with green crayon in your RENTAL SUITE where you will actually have to PAY FOR DAMAGES to the furniture?

Not that these things have happened to me. I’m just sayin’, it would suck.
