New dads must learn to at least tolerate the occasional golden shower
Posted on June 1, 2006 - Filed Under The Daily Doodle
Here’s proof that not everything which was once expensive but someone gave you for free is good. As Erin mentioned, she went to the mom’s group today and one of the other mothers was *generous* enough to give her some cloth diapers. These are the kind they call ‘all in ones’ because you get the absorbant material on the inside and the outward shell in one combined package. This makes them convenient but also pretty pricey, about $15 apiece. Well, when Erin got them home and looked at them a little more closely, she discovered that the absorbant material wasn’t all that much and she began to doubt it would be enough. So, for her own protection, she included a ‘doubler’ inside the first one she tried. This seemed to work, so she continued to do so throughout the day. When I got home, I changed a diaper, figured out how they work, and went on my merry way. A little while later, Erin changed her but neglected to put the doubler in. I sat down with Maggie to watch a little TV and play with Wilson (yes, somehow I am able to do all three…and Maggie likes it too because she really likes to watch Wilson running around). Well, Maggie was fussy, so I got up and felt something wet on my shirt in the stomach area. I spoke of the mystery to Erin and suddenly realized that Maggie was wet as well–my child had peed all over me. It took Erin quite a bit of work to gain enough composure to tell me that it was her fault because she had ‘forgotten’ to put the doubler in the diaper.
So, in less than two months time, I have been urinated on by both my dog and my daughter. I never thought it could possibly come to this.

It seems that there comes a time that yu are peed on ,especially with babies. Although I must say it is easier to be peed on by a girl rather than a boy.
I have two boys and have been peed on by both multiple times. The incident that sticks out in my mind though is when I came home for lunch one day and picked my son up to say goodbye before I returned to work. Once I was almost at my office I realised there was poop all up and down my arm…it had leaked out the side of his diaper. Why I didn’t smell it I don’t know…
When Joshua was about the same age, I was going to my first day of a “training” class which I couldn’t to be late for. I carried him from his room to the living room and lo’ and behold, he relieved himself of what appeared to be the entire contents of his stomach. All over my shoulder and down my back. It had such a horrible odor. Needless to say, I had to change and showed up late & was reminded of the event the rest of the day due to the smell (no time to shower).
well mom always told me about you peeing on her once, so i guess its true what comes around goes around…
hi i remember that time quite well it was like old faithful just erupted. hope you had a good day working in the garage love to all of you till next time take care
Thats when you know you really are a parent. After Ryan was born I got peed on the same day Lauren had a cold and wiped her nose all over my shoulder that night I was giving them baths and Ryan pooped on my lap. I thought how many bodily fluids could I handle in one day I had to just laugh and since then we have had many other crazy adventures.
