I'm Not Even Supposed To Be Here Today!
Tonight, for the third time, Dylan pooped in the tub. That in itself is probably enough content for Kevin Smith to write a 3 hour flip-out / argument scene about, but not having his talent, you'll just have to settle for this one little bit:
"I'm not even supposed to be here today!"
Honestly, that was the first thing that went through my mind when I realized what was happening; because it was true. If you're not familiar with the movie, Dante gets called in to work on his day off, and a series of bad things happens to him — after each of which he complains, "I'm not even supposed to be here today." Friday is bath-day, but on most Friday's it would be Megan giving him a bath, not me. (I do Sundays and the occasional Tuesday.) Tonight Megan was out having dinner with friends, so I traded Friday for Sunday.
I'm starting to think I got a raw deal.
What's worse is that the second place my mind went was the TV Show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," specifically to an episode entitled "Who Pooped The Bed?"
It's a little hard to see, but there is a silver lining to this poop cloud. A few moments — maybe as much as 60 seconds — before the event occurred, Dylan got my attention and made the sign for "diaper." Only now do I see the error of my ways. I should have immediately picked him up and plopped him down on the toilet seat.
Not to worry, it'll never happen again. I've sworn off ever giving the child another bath.
P.S. I considered posting a picture. Figured I'd spare you. You're welcome.
