We Do The Best We Can, People


Your child would look like this, too, if you left the house this morning with the new box of diapers in the back of your car (the box of diapers that should have been in the house because the previous box is, you know, empty), and your husband, who has upper rib fat cancer and is in a great deal of pain and has no intention, no intention at all of leaving the house, finds something, anything to take the place of a diaper.

I’m actually very relieved that D. found the Swimmers. I had visions of him having to take a towel and secure it around A.’s waist with rope or something. Like ye olden days.

A. has no clothes on because the first Swimmer had a bit of a leaking problem, and D., due to pain from upper rib fat cancer, just didn’t have it in him to dress the child one more time.

Apparently, however, a life with no clothes and a faux diaper suits the young lad…he actually fell asleep on the couch in the middle of the day.

And he had a brand new box of diapers waiting on him when he got up from his nap.

Clothes, too.

‘Cause we’re fancy like that.

    Why the explanation? He looks fine (and rested, I might add) to me.

    P.S. Keep it up, son. That’s the exact position I fall asleep in every night. Never stray, and you’ll sleep like a rock and dream like a fiend all your life, with the only exception being whenever you have the croup (which you will, because you are of the Sims lineage). Then, and only then, will you need to sleep on your stomach…along with a nice, big dose of “sleepytime” cough syrup administered by your own Mommy Dearest.

  3. I do love the usage of the word “son” in your last comment…that’s some true Sims diction.

    You know the child gets the croup before a cold ever sets in…I hear that “bark” in the night, and I think, “Okay, here we go.”

    The explanation in the post is due to the fact that he has on a swimming diaper – not a regular one – and a swimming diaper doesn’t do one thing but prevent people from having to shut down a pool, if you get my drift. In other words, it’s not the most absorbent item in the world (if it were, it would only serve as a weight in the water). It’s essentially a sack with leg holes.

    I can be more specific if necessary. :-)
