I don't think I'll ever recover from this one. 6-month-old daughter, we're at Target, I change her in the bathroom. Somehow—and I still don't understand the physics—poop made it up her back AND down both legs. I'm standing there with maybe 2 wipes left and she's looking at me like I'm a failure. Had to buy new clothes right there in the store. My wife thought it was hilarious when I got home. I did not.
The worst part is they always seem to happen when you're in the furthest possible spot from home or a bathroom. It's like babies have a sixth sense for maximum chaos location.
This is why we kept a complete outfit change in the diaper bag at all times. Even then I wasn't always prepared for the absolute destruction a 6-month-old can unleash.
Target bathrooms are rough for blowouts because they're never set up well. Did you at least make it to the family restroom or were you doing the public bathroom shuffle?
Six months in diapers are unpredictable. We had a blowout at the pediatrician's office of all places. Got it on the doctor, the wall, everywhere. The sympathetic look she gave us said it all.

Wait until she's older and it happens during a playdate at someone else's house. That's the real nightmare scenario.
