I got this in an email from my daughter the other day, this has got to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen, this is so my hubband.
What a smart little boy!!!!! Tho' I do not have kids, I have changes many a diaper, having babysat all of my nieces and nephews ( 8 in total) at some point in time. Not all at once, tho"Originally Posted by CarolPetunia
I've never changed a diaper in my life -- but I came dangerously close once when my nephew was two years old, very shortly before he stopped wearing them. My mom and I were babysitting at his house, and Mom was in the restroom when Grant said, "Uhoh! I need a change!"
Well, I'm pretty phobic about this sort of thing, so I did my best to stall. "Ummm... well, sweetie, let's wait for Grandma, because I don't know how to change diapers."
"That's okay!" Grant says brightly, "I'll teach you!" He leads me into his room and hands me a diaper from the stack under his changing table. "You just put this up there," he says, pointing to the top of the table. "And then you get this and this out of here" -- babywipes and powder from a drawer.
"And then," he continues, as he climbs up the drawer handles to the top of the table and positions himself, "you just take off the old one. Here, I'll help you!" And he starts unfastening the tabs on the sides of his diaper for me!
I was just hysterical by this time, and awed by what a smart little guy he was. Lucky for me, Mom returned from the restroom just about then, and I was able to maintain my zero-diapers-changed record.
Oh, how I wish I had THAT incident on video!
