Daughter sets world record of diaper changes.

    by Big Daddy Mowrer

As a new father, one thing I did not expect is the numerous diaper changes that happen every day.  As an adult, I figure between number 1 and number 2, I go about 8 times a day (I drink a lot of water).  My daughter needs changing between 10 and 15 times a day.  If you figure that a child is potty trained at the age of 2, that’s 365 days a year x 2 years x avg. 12 diapers a day = 8760 diapers in a child’s early years.  8760!  When we had our baby shower, we got so many diapers that I thought we should return some.  I’m thinking, what the hell are we going to do with this many diapers, it’s a years worth.  And it seems like a waste of a diaper just for a little whizz.  Someone should invent a diaper where it soaks up the water, then stores it in one section of the diaper so that the diaper can continue to be reused.  In this “Go Green” world we live in nowadays, it seems like such a waste.  The cool thing I found out is that they make newborn diapers that are shaped so that they curve around the umbilical cord.  Smart thinking.  Anyway, to all you soon to be fathers out there (you Wals), stock up on diapers.  If you see them on sale, just pick up a pack, cause you go through them fast.
