This is one of those stories that I was able to picture the punchline that was coming, and it still got me tickled. That's when a joke is really a good one. Thanks for sharing.

    THANKSSSSSS!

    The gist is true--I don't think they wasted the diapers. The parents were cool about it! (Four times was likely an understatement.)

How funny, it seems that even I knew that, and I changed copious amounts of the old cloth nappies, (diapers) so we can't really blame from being inexperienced, well done, blessing Roy

You have me howling in laughter again. I needed that this morning. Nothing like starting the day with a good laugh. I don't doubt this story, except that four times around the middle seems obsessive but funny, nevertheless.

Not while I have a mouthful of coffee, Liz! Is your personal life ever bereft of humor? You find it in everything. My kids were raised with those old-fashioned cloth-and-giant-safety-pinned diapers. I figure we saved thousands over Pampers. Well, until you tallied in the plumbing bills. This was computer screen-wiped funny!

Haha, funny now, but not so much to the girls then. You did a good job with this little diaper caper, Liz. I enjoyed reading it. I hope they can laugh about it now. I'm glad the parents were understanding (? right).
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Aah! To give the girls credit, they showed great initiative in ensuring the problem didn't recur. Doubtless the parents needed scissors to undo the diaper for the next change. Very humorous.

I loved this! I laughed with the electrical tape. I can picture it. At least the girls were quick on their feet and were resourceful. I hope the babysitting service was successful after that. Besides my siblings, I never babysat for an infant, so more power to them. Thanks for the chuckle!

This story, The Pampered Baby Caper, is funny and could be a true story as I know I have forgotten to use the tabs correctly.

An excellent slice of Lauren's life. A good story told in an amusing witty manner. I think it may be 'illegal' to quote the diaper brand, but who cares!

    The gist is true--I don't think they wasted the diapers. It's not illegal to quote brands--years ago they weren't allowed to do so in commercials.

Hello Liz.

The electrical tape was a reasonable solution. It was very reasonable since that is all they could find. However, peelable double sided tape to a young teenager is not always obvious. Hopefully they didn't throw away the paper diapers. All in all, I would say that was a very good experience for them both.
