Don't listen to your wife

Today has been a long day.  It started with a 45 minute wait on an un-airconditioned train that was broke down half way to Chicago.  Of course, since the rest of the trains were delayed we had to make every stop on the way to Chicago which took my 1 hour express train and made it a 2 hour stop at every stop train that couldn't possibly fit another small child.  Amazingly though, the ticket collector was able to slip by everyone and collect tickets on every car.  You would think that they would have given us a free ride after putting up with that.  i would have happily paid the $4 to take me back and just let me drive.  

Either way, my night only got better by some stunning advice from my wife.  She is going to be upset that I wrote this, but this was her fault completely.  Maddie was going to take a bath, so I changed her quickly and was putting on her diaper to take her upstairs.  Kacey says, and I quote, "why would you waste a diaper?  You are just walking upstairs".  So I listen to my all knowing and supremely wise wife who always seems to be right.  Yeah, I turn on the water and put Maddie over my head to give her a quick superman ride.  She gets so excited, she pees all over me and the bed.  Kacey grins and says, "thats funny, I didn't think she would pee".  Really?  Thats all you have when you so blatantly screw up, and you say "thats funny"???  Come on, you have to do better than that.  Thats like driving through a crowd of people and denting your car.  "thats funny, I didn't think about the damage on the the car."  Lets be clear.  That is not funny.  Nor did you think.  Thinking would have been putting the diaper on Maddie to ensure that no accidents happened.  But, at the end of the day, I chose to listen and not put the diaper on.  So I will take roughly 3% of the blame.  Last time I listen to my wife when it comes to human waste issues.

Just for the record... First, my day was way worse than his. Second, I did tell him not to put the diaper on and waste it, as he was supposed to just walk upstairs and hand the baby to me in the shower. Never did I advise stripping her down, tossing her on the bed, blowing on her tummy and throwing the buck naked baby who just had full bottle and has been laughing hysterically for the last 5 minutes into the air, over your head, on our bed.

You run a multi million dollar division of a Fortune 500 company. If you can't figure out when a baby might pee on your head, you may have bigger problems than that.

Enough said.

I find that hilarious!!! Now, on the other hand, when the boy pees in my face as I try to change him, I will not find that hilarious. Then you will be laughing at me!
