    Let me explain. We start by having the best darn day that anyone could have asked for. Things just seem to fall into the right place. Disaster strikes almost immediately! The bread has green polka- dots. I forget to wash their most prized clothes. I forget to call about the pre-planned sleepover. The dog decides to take a day trip to another neighbourhood without letting us know. The computer decides to quit working. Being practical, I decide to do laundry and bathe the kids at the same time and nearly scald my poor daughters. The video game is making unhealthy noises. The girls are tormented by nightmares with the movie I chose for them. Someone's toothbrush accidentally falls into the toilet! We quickly realize we have a grasshopper as a house guest in our tiny bathroom.
