When I started changing my grandneice's diaper, my neice (her aunt) questioned

[Thor_MN]

my ability yesterday.

I, being a 54 year old, single male, informed her that I had changed plenty of her diapers.

I was on regular daycare pickup, feed them dinner and put her and her two brothers to bed duty when my sister got rid of her deadbeat husband. And having worked in a nursing home during college, I have changed the diapers of 280 lb. men.

Don't judge books by their covers.

1. Well you had a wonderful opportunity to educate your niece didn't you?

You'll probably be referred to as her really cool uncle who changes babies' diapers. A win win. You'll be the standard by which she judges all the men in her life from now on.

Not bad!

2. Niece, just saying.

[Thor_MN]

4. My bad, my browser's spellcheck doesn't work in the subject line.

And that is one of my chronically misspelled words...

[cwydro]

8. I before E and all that nonsense...actually works.

But I know how our phones have their own ideas about spelling lol.

9. A careful examination of a good English dictionary

Will show that it has more misses than hits.

11. Unless one believes in science...

21. Perfect answer.

12. But, weirdly enough, not for...

...the word "weird."

3. You seem angry at her for asking. You should be upset with the patriarchy.

And the social norms it enforces on almost every living human being here in the US and likely the world.

5. Good for you

I’ve changed diapers on our three daughters and 12 year old son when they were infants. And recently our one niece who was potty training with pull ups. I saw her one day she was squirming I said come on let’s go use the potty .She replied how about not.

6. I like to remind my younger brother that I changed his diapers when he says I'm old. n/t

7. Excellent reminder about judging a book by its cover.

I remember an important lesson I learned early in my Tech sales career. I found numerous prosperous looking companies (high end offices etc) that had no cash/good credit to invest while a few businesses I called on looked pretty humble...but they had the resources to invest in their IT.

10. It is an honorable act.

I've heard it suggested that god judges people by how much of other people's poop they clean up during their life.

Which kinda makes me Jesus.

[Thor_MN]

13. I've never heard that one, but I find it comforting...

[japple]

15. If that applies to all of god's creatures, I've got a golden crown and front row seat in

heaven based on all the animal poop I've cleaned up. Health care workers and others who have to do that for humans should sit on the right hand of god (or dog.)

14. you will be the coolest UNK ever!

16. Sometimes you can judge a book by the cover.

For example, I read a book with just the title on the cover. “Sweet Jesus, I Hate Bill O’Reilly.” There were no surprises in it.

17. Haaaaaaaaaaa!

[raven mad]

18. Never judge books by their covers!

The best nurses in our hospital here are the men. Period, hands down.

19. At age 56, I was changing the diapers of a 5 week old baby

Diaper technology has changed since the last time I had diaper duty back when I w as young and changing my younger brothers diapers. Then it was cloth diapers held on with diaper pins. Today you have disposable diapers held on by Velcro like strips and baby wipes.

20. Yes, good for you!

My hubs changed only 1 poopy diaper, bless his little heart.
