One of my dear friends had a baby about a week ago. Her oldest is almost 13 so it has been quite some time since there was a baby in the house. I love watching her Facebook feed go by to see what has been happening. Some of the things she posts are so funny to me, of course it is because it’s not me and I remember those times! It has been many years since there was a baby in my home. (but who knows, I am still young enough!) This morning, I saw this one on her wall::

I couldn’t really do anything except laugh. It always seems to work out like that doesn’t it? After reading this I remembered a funny memory about when my oldest son was born. His father was so proud and wanted to change the very first diaper. Hey great, have at it, one less I have to change. (After 30 hours of labor, I wasn’t at all unhappy to just rest.) I wonder how many of you are laughing right now because you remember what that diaper was like. If you haven’t had the pleasure of this encounter, consider yourself blessed… In short, it is pretty much like tar. Kind of nasty huh? After about 8 wipes later, watery eyes and red face from the smell, he handed the duties over to me. Kudos to him for trying but clearly it was a job for Super Mom.

It is 2:30 pm on a chilly Friday afternoon and Spencer (4) decides that he wants to take a bath…. I am sitting on the edge of the tub playing with his toys with him…. I get up and walk across the hall to grab his towel when our conversation starts. I knew it wasn’t what I thought I heard, but, I still had to get to the bottom of what on earth he was talking about.

Spencer: Mom guess what?

Me: What?

Spencer: I’m high!

Me: You’re what?

Spencer: I’m high!

Me: *pause* Why are you high?

Spencer: Because I’m on something.

Me: *longer pause* What are you on?

Spencer: It’s a secret.

Me: Where did you hear that?

Spencer: I made it up.

Me: Okay *pause* Mommy needs to know what is making you high

Spencer: *silly giggle*

Me: *patient smirk*

Spencer: I’m sitting on my toy HAHAHA! I fooled you. You didn’t know what I was on!

Me: You are so silly.

He was clearly HIGH and ON something.

Why don’t fish play tennis?

They might get caught in the net.
