Babies & diapers

Yeap, just realized it today... I am now being invited for Baby Showers, Baby birthdays, and all that good stuff...

Planning on what to buy for my friend's newborn, my other friend and I agreed on buying diapers and something else smaller, more personal, like a toy or so.

Over the phone my friend says: "Okay, so how many bags should we get her? Maybe 4?

I said: "What about 2 each?"

I wasn't sure if she knew the price for it or just wanted to spend a little more than we thought at first because afterall, the new Mom is our GREAT friend!

So, mid-afternoon I went to the supermakert and found out that each diaper bag was $20!!! First thing I thought to myself was: "Man, she [the Mom] must be spending a fortune on diapers! She would love getting it as a gift!" Got 2 bags.

Called my friend back and said: "Did you get the diapers yet?" She said:"Not yet. I was busy all day. I'll get it tomorrow morning before heading to your place."

I told her: "I got two at $20 apiece." She screammed over the phone: "How much??? That's crazy! I think I will just get her something else, I don't know. That's a lot for diapers!"

We started laughing and she said: "Remember when we were babies? There were no disposable diapers. That was too fancy. My Mom used cotton diapers on us. Remember them?" I was cracking up and of course I remember them. My Mom used them on me too!! The diapers were made out of cotton fabric and WASHED after every use! And as we both started laughing we realized one thing: OMG! Where were we weeing on???? Just fabric?! No absorbent layers of crystals that turn into gel for a dryer sensation...??!?!?!?!?

Wow! Now we know... and we laughed so hard!!

Parents are Angels chosen by God at the moment we are ready for life!

Love you, Mom & Dad; Grandma too. Happy Valentines Day!
