The Diaper Blowout Incident of Last Tuesday

1w ago·1 min read

So I'm at the grocery store with just my youngest (11 months) and we're doing great, everything's perfect. Get to the cereal aisle and BOOM. Blowout. I mean an absolute nuclear event. Poop up the back, down the legs, somehow inside the diaper bag. I'm standing there looking like I just survived a war. A lady walked by and I swear her eyes got so wide. I had to go home without buying a single thing. The diaper won that day but I'll be back.

An 11 month old at the grocery store is already a win in my book. The blowout part? Yeah that happens. Pro tip: always keep a change of clothes and backup wipes in the diaper bag. And sometimes the bathroom is your best friend in these situations.

Oh dude. The blowout at the grocery store is a rite of passage. At least you were handling it solo and kept your cool. I would have just abandoned the cart and run.

The 11 month diaper blowout at the grocery store sounds like a nightmare but also kind of a dad battle scar now. Please tell me you have the full story to share.

This story made my day. At least it's happening now and not when they're old enough to remember the embarrassment. Public diaper disasters are temporary. The laundry situation though, that's real.

Those moments feel like a disaster in the moment but honestly they make the best stories later. Solo grocery store runs with a baby are underrated parenting moments though, so you were doing good before the blowout anyway.

I've got that incident in my future and I'm both dreading it and kind of looking forward to it. You survived it solo which is already winning in my book. Did you have to leave or did you power through?
