The diaper incident that will haunt me forever

3w ago·1 min read

So my son had a blowout at target last week and it went EVERYWHERE. I'm talking up his back, down his legs, on my favorite shirt. I just stood there in the middle of the aisle looking like a disaster while other parents gave me those sympathetic nods. My wife won't let me live it down. She keeps saying 'at least you didn't go to work with it on your shoulder' but like... I almost did.

Oh no. The Target blowout is like a rite of passage at this point. Did you have to just abandon the cart and leave? I'm still scarred from a similar incident at Costco last year.

This is what keeps me up at night as a new dad. How bad was cleanup? Did you have supplies in the car or did you have to improvise?

Target is the nightmare location for that kind of thing because you're trapped! But hey, you handled it and that's what matters. Could've been way worse.

Oh man, Target blowouts are the worst because everyone's watching! At least you kept your cool about it. We've all been there standing frozen trying to figure out what to do next.

The fact that you can laugh about it now means you've processed it well. I'm with you though, those moments feel like they're going to define your whole parenting experience when they happen.
