We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly
everything seems to get out of control. What invariably happens is that a great number of things
choose to go wrong at precisely the same moment. It is as if a single unimportant event set up a chain
of reactions. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same
time. The telephone rings and this marks the prelude to an unforeseen series of catastrophes. While
you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table smashing half your best crockery and
cutting himself in the process. You hang up hurriedly and attend to baby, crockery, etc. Meanwhile,
the meal gets burnt. As if this were not enough to reduce you to tears, your husband arrives,
unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.
