Murphy's Law for Moms:
The very moment you take a business call, your three year old is done in the sandbox and begins screaming for a snack. She needed a nap, but kept boomeranging out of her room, so you gave up trying, decided to wear her out and put her to bed early. But now she's being completely irrational, and you're on the phone with a perfect stranger. Not wanting to make it sound like you're torturing small animals in the background, you run from the screaming child. She, of course, follows. You flee inside and she chases you in...still screaming. You give her the: "Stop it right now, or I'm going to sell you off to a band of Gypsys!" glare...and she keeps hooping and hollering. She certainly knows this behavior is NOT acceptable, but you can't deal with it on the phone. Before you know it, you've locked yourself in the office closet in order to try and hear the person on the other line. You recompose yourself, attempting to sound like a sane human being, when really, you've just been running for your life away from an angry hobbit. From the closet, the demands for a "snack bar" are now decently muffled, and quiet enough that you can comprehend the person on the phone, and are able to finish your call.
Phew.
