why do you have to be like this?

That is the subject heading of an email I've just received from my son.

Speaking of offspring, Andrew has decided to regress on his toileting. I don't know why.

The other night Ed figured out that we've spent 27 child years changing poopy diapers and underwear.

Now that is what I call real-world math.

  1. My kids:

    Kid 1: trained at age 12 (is disabled)

    Kid 2: trained at age 2.5

    Kid 3: trained at age 2.5

    Kid 4: trained at age 3

    Kid 4 is still in pullups at age nine. Not including pullups, we had 20 child years in diapers. If you include the pullups, then we had 26 child years in diapers.

    You still have us beat, but only by a year. LOL

  2. Oh dear! FWIW, earlier today, I asked my college freshman why it was that both of my kids seemed to be so strong-willed, stubborn and impatient. Her response? Genetics! (I guess she was paying attention in her Biology class after all.)

    Hmmm . . . : )

    I should note that I must be really careful about sneezing after having drunk 3 or 4 cups of coffee . . . .
