Oh, what a riot! And what "wimps" men turn out to be just cleaning up a little mess. Sheesh. Gives whole new meaning to all the fun they have with bodily noises. (winks)
And women are supposed to be the "weaker" sex. Ha!
My father-in-law actually vomited once when changing a diaper, and otherwise preferred to clean baby bottoms under a shower head. That was the legacy he gave my husband, who thus avoided diaper-changing like the plague. I just sighed and tried to be grateful for all the other things hubby did to make my life comfortable...
Why, Susan, I did just what my grandma told me and changed all the diapers myself ... right. But, Greg did often remind me of Grandma's words of wisdom if any of the babies smelled "suspicious." ;-)
Constitution, yeah. They can watch someone getting their brains blown out, get excited over blood and guts and all manners of other atrocities, but ask them to change a diaper? And they get weak-kneed. (sigh)

Tiff, I can remember my grandmother always telling me "Never ask your man to change a diaper. They simply don't have the constitution for it."
I used to think she was just being old-fashioned. Ha!

I knew you'd get a kick out of it. Glad you enjoyed it. So did Mr. Greg ever make faces like that or did he just leave the diaper changing up to you?

Good point, Tiff. Wish I'd thought of that back-in-the-day!
