Pressure

I was directly reminded of the age old question that has not been properly answered since the beginning of time. The planet that I have been living on for the past 35 years felt as if it had stopped spinning and that someone had placed a “you are here” sticker marking the latitude and longitude over my current position. Although I was within the confines of my comfortable warm home, I could feel the pressures of world weighing down on me and the souls of past waiting to see how I would respond to the uncomfortable situation that I had not welcomed. My heart started to beat noticeably faster, I started to sweat. I contemplated an exit strategy that would not, could not be executed. I made a quick assessment of the situation and answered with tremendous precision that would allow me to continue my evening peacefully.

What is a father to do when changing his newborn sons diaper and the little bugger decides to puke and finish pooping at the same time while the diaper is off, having the fear that at any moment he could pee on me and everything else within a 4.5 ft. radius?

Have a nice weekend.

Ah. Then you just wait for everything to finish coming out, and start wiping. Feel free to say "Oh #@$%" several times as this is one of those situations where it is truly ok to swear in front of your children.

Kim – I like it, but does it come in green? Also, it’s not very form fitting and might make my ass look big:)

Amy – But do they have to act like them on my watch.

Tracey – I even made up some new words

Sara – Ok, that is a little gross but I guess catching it is better than getting it on the bed. I’m sure the facial expression of the nurse was priceless.

Jessica – You too ha. Let’s keep a camera near by so that we can take pictures next time and compare.

Princess - Boys are certainly a different animal.
