Ten Thoughts About: Diapers

  1. What’s the largest number of quarts you can buy a diaper in?
  2. Without getting into the details, let me just say that I could really go for some chocolate soft-serve ice cream.
  3. I have seen our baby smiling and crying at the exact same time. I’d probably react that way to a diaper change too.
  4. Maturity is the age at which you realize someone is watching you take a dump and laughing at you.
  5. I knew I was a father the day I opened up a diaper and found happiness.
  6. If Pampers had lines from Tolstoy on their diapers instead of pictures of Elmo, I’d be done with War and Peace by now.
  7. This weekend, I learned how to change a diaper using a doll. First, you pick it up by the head.
  8. I’ve never changed a diaper in my life. I sincerely apologize to my wife for being incapable of performing this task.
  9. Our baby is six months old today! My first diaper change feels like only a decade ago.
  10. Taking care of a baby isn’t brain surgery. It’s the cleaning up after brain surgery.
