Don't Fight Over Who Has to Change the Diapers - Try Playing Spin the Baby!

Posted by Alisyn

"I did the last one!"

"It's your turn!"

"One, two three... NOT IT!"

These are just some of the things my husband and I say to get out of changing poopy diapers.  C'mon...  you do it too.  So why not turn the diaper changing drudgery into an exciting - if not slightly dangerous - game of chance, like these folks did?

To be fair, not all kids would take to this "game" the way young Gabe seems to have done.  That little guy was spinning around so fast, I'm amazed that he was able to up at all, much less get up without blowing chunks everywhere.  But hey, it's worth a shot - you have a 50% chance of getting out of diaper duty!  I call those some pretty sweet odds.  It's the parent's version of Spin the Bottle... except no one gets drunk, and instead of making out with your best friend's boyfriend, you get poop on your hands. 

Aaaaaaand that pretty much sums up parenting in general, I think.
