I used to simmer for a long time until I boiled. Now I have kids, and I've discovered a new law of physics.
You may have heard of the law of conservation of matter or energy. Basically, they state that there are constant and equal amounts of matter and energy available, and they simply convert back and forth when needed.
I believe there's a law of conservation of patience. Each person has a finite amount of patience, to be allocated among all the things in his or her life.
Therefore, I only have a certain amount of patience. And my kids are 4-1/2 and almost 7.
There ain't no patience left for anyone else. So don't get on my nerve. That's right, nerve. Only one. That's all that's left.
