Diaper Bags for Dummies...er, Dads.

For all fathers who need a lesson in preparation:

Dude...Hellooooo? It is only going to take once...ONCE...for you to learn this lesson, and I hope you are in a crowded restaurant when it happens!

For the last time, there is a reason your wife tells you it's important to pack a change of clothing in that diaper bag. Did you think she just couldn't decide what the kid should wear?? Maybe she wanted to change him when they went into the mall b/c while that yellow shirt is just darling on him at the park, the flourescent lights hit it just right and makes him look 'all washed out'...DUH!

One day...just you wait! The poo fairy will deliver a load far to big for that diaper to contain and you're gonna have a squirmy, pissed off $hit grenade in your hands. One wrong move...and, oh, the horror!

Tell me, Mr Smarty Man...what will you do?

Hmmm. Let me guess...

Before you even consider it, let me remind of of the importance of checking the diaper bag before you leave home. While wrapping him in your coat (assuming it's cold weather) and whisking him off to the car is an option, it only seems like a good plan until you realize you forgot to refill the wipe container, genius. Umm, yeah....I bet you're really gonna put that slimy, poo-smeared set of cheeks in your jacket.

So, Smarty-Man. When this happens to you, you can expect to get home and see a big I-Told-You-So smirk on your wife's face, as she hands you a bar of soap, points you toward the bathtub, and suggests that you'll be taking care of the laundry this week.

You didn't really intend to ask her to help you clean it up? Did you?

*sigh*

Off to find a steak to smack him with...will they ever learn?
