DIAPER CHANGING COULD BE THE END OF US ALL
#DailyMischief
Last week sometime M.C. Nugget and I were out with a friend who was visiting from out of town, having a drink.
We talked about our upcoming plans — to visit my niece and her three kids for the two-year old’s Princess birthday party.
Our friend (a female) and I laughed out loud at the notion of Nuggie surrounded by screaming, squealing kids. He doesn’t really DO kids. He doesn’t do two-year old princess birthday parties, either. He never has, and until this past weekend he never planned to.
Somehow, probably after a glass or two of wine, the conversation meandered around the subject of what Nuggie would do if left on his own with said kids. Then our fantastic friend asked the question that started the zany spiral: YOU’VE BEEN PUKED ON BY A KID BEFORE, HAVEN’T YOU?
That would be a NO.
What? You’ve never been spit up on, even when holding your niece when she was a baby?
NO.
Nuggie informed us that although he has a niece who is the golden and beloved grandchild in the MCNUGGET family tree, he’d never in all of his life even changed a diaper.
Wait what? NEVER?
We couldn’t believe it, but Nuggie insisted it was not all that unusual. He was sure most of his adult friends had never done the deed either.
So I decided to check.
Below is a series of texts. First from me, to Nuggie’s best friend, Bogey. Let me set the stage for you: Nuggie and his buddy are both at least 50. Did I just say that out loud? Yes. But we’re all friends here, and 50 is the new 30. Did I also mention they are both actors? You’ll understand when you read it.
FROM ME TO OUR FRIEND BOGEY:
AND NOW THE CONVERSATION

Diaper changing could be the end of us all. But I can feel it in the air ladies and gentlemen. A “change” is definitely coming.

Though Ms. Cheevious has become known for humor via the blog and social media, offering a lighter and brighter look at life… the blog was originally a precursor to Lisa Jey's long overdue book "Ms. Cheevious in Hollywood" which offers a fabulous, funny peek into what really goes on behind the scenes in Hollywood… a Hollywood with Lisa Jey and her funny “serendipities” in it. Think Lucille Ball meets Chelsea Handler meets the girl next door (with a little chocolate and vodka). It depicts with hilarity the innocent mistakes Lisa Jey made when launched back into the big, bad single jungle, as an unassuming single-mother in the City of Angels. It’s also about the beautiful, interesting life she led while her loving, incredible sons kept her grounded and sane amid fantastic events, new friends, parties and field trips. It also shows the turmoil and heartbreak that comes with dating and single mom life. All blog content © 2015 Ms. Cheevious aka Lisa Jey Davis
THAT is too funny! I just cannot WAIT to give MCNUGGET a hard time about that one! ha ha!
And he NEEDS a good talking to Wak.
I see diapers as a leveling agent. Once you’ve changed a diaper – especially one filled to capacity with a little possible overflow and extremely wet – you are now equal and humbled with all others in the same category. It is like owning an indoor cat. They are an aloof animal and even moreso when you are cleaning out the kitty litter box. You think they were aloof before? Take a quick gander at them as you parade through the house the used kitty litter. At least with changing a dirty diaper there is always a chance you’ll received a bubbly smile and even a gurgle of appreciation. Enjoy the moment.
ahhh it was a great moment Bob. Thanks for commenting!! I agree… cats don’t smile… bummer pets in my opinion! LOL
LOL That’s great. I’ve never been spit on that I remember and it’s been ages since I changed a diaper. Good thing they have YouTube videos for everything these days!
Hmm, not sure why it did added my blog post on there. Sorry about that… Is there a way to take it off?
That shows up because I love you blogger commenters here and I’ve instructed my blog to pull your most recent post and display it.
Thanks CK!
ahhhh yes… I’ll remind Nuggie about youtube when and if the time ever comes for him to change a diaper. HAHAHA
HaHahHa I remember coming home one day to see my husband on the floor, my son on a blanket and tissues smeared with…. well you can imagine, all over the blanket. You have a smart guy.
Smart is not necessarily the word I would choose, although you were not in on the conversation that ensued when I mentioned the possibility of my one day having grandkids around with diapers to change… That is reserved for another post.
Changing diapers and getting puked on is good for building character. I recommend it highly! If you can survive babies you can pretty much take on anything. Thanks for making me laugh today!
You’re quite welcome Ms. Tara! Thanks for the comment! XO
Sometimes blogs should just be funny – and this was one of them. Hey, to be honest, I never changed a diaper until I had kids… at least not successfully. So, this isn’t so strange.
Oh my, Elyse. Well, now you’re a card-carrying diaper expert… so there is no going back now.
You guys left too early. Nuggie could have scooped the poo from the bath tub that evening. A treat left by the sweet two year old princess. Aric and I both dry heaved….. we both still love her though. And you guys were amazing with the kiddos. Thanks for making the trek south to celebrate. XOXO
