Visiting my son and his family I have had a few "Grandpa Moments." At one point I was watching Louisville beat Duke. My daughter-in-law's mother is a professor at Duke so we had some loyalty there. During the game my eight year old granddaughter came into the living room with a stuffed animal and a baby bottle. She said the little dog needed to be fed. I dutifully cradled the toy dog and put the bottle to his mouth as I watched the game. A few trips back and forth across the court passed and I realized I was only one in the living room and I still had this stuffed animal in my arms and was holding a baby bottle to it's mouth.......
Despite my best efforts I ended up with my two and a half year old grandson when he had a messy diaper. I took responsibility for changing him. Sometimes fortune smiles on the oblivious and, much to the amusement of everyone else, when I put another diaper on him, I apparently put it on inside out. This simple, but unintentional act, should excuse me from diaper duty the rest of the trip.
Uh-huh. You just got distracted by that Louisville horrific injury and kept clutching the stuffed animal for comfort. Also, no more diaper changes??? You wish!!! This is just a learning curve thing. Now that you know what NOT to do, you just need to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
