and that's exactly why I'm sitting in the bathroom, giving the kid a bath at 5:00 in the evening.
Everything was going well, waiting for mom to get home. Then it got quiet. Real quiet. Like before I had a kid, kind of quiet.
As we all know, that's a bad thing.
Lo and behold, the little one's sitting on her Winne the Pooh chair, playing with what looks to be Cheeze Whiz. Trouble is, we don't have any Cheeze Whiz in this house. To quote the kid, "Uh oh".
You see, Rachel's developed this...habit. The habit of playing in her diaper. Yeah. Nasty. Seems that a healthy diet of fruit and cheese can result in a product the consistency, color, and texture of Cheeze Whiz. The kid even got the shape right. How, I have no idea.
So, I scoop up the kid, deposit her in the tub, strip her down, and commence to scraping off the barnacles. If nothing else, being a SAD has galvanized my stomach, as I took the challenge barehanded. No sense in messing up a clean wash cloth. I backed her up to the tub faucet and let my troubles wash down the drain. After that, I filled the tub and gave her a head-to-toe scrub down.
With that accomplished, I made a quick run out to the loft to clean up her couch, only to find the mess mysteriously cleaned up. Did I mention we're dog-sitting this week? :shock: Ugh.
Upon that little discovery, I pulled out the Altoid strips, gave two to the kid, and two to the dog. If you ever need to give Altoid strips to a dog, just plop them on their wet nose. The dog's natural reaction is to lick it off. Boy, did he give me a dirty look. But hey, everyone in the house now has minty fresh breath, dog included.
I left a message on the wife's cell phone to swing by the liqour store on the way home.
