Today morning C got up early along with us. While I was reading the newspaper on the computer , Daph tried unsuccessfully to make C go back to sleep. When I came up, C was still bubbly. There is typically an aura of smell around C everyday in the morning, because of the heavy diaper. Luckily NOT number 2, tho'! The diaper collects stuff from 10 pm to 6 am! Unfortunately (or fortunately) I am the only person able to smell this smell. Today it was not so bad.
However Daph, as usual, changed C's diaper in the morning and tried to make C 'go' in potty for sometime. C refused to go. Insead of changing C into another diaper, D said that C likes to go around without diapers, and is very happy about it, etc, and we took a chance. C was happy alright, running around, etc. But after 5 mins, we saw a pool of water around her! D got upset but would not spank her, because "C would not know what she did wrong" or something. However, I told C in stern voice that whatever she did was not fair, especially when amma had just showed her the potty. C listened to it with a sullen face.
After some time, C tripped while running around, and fell on the floor and hurt herself and started crying uncontrollably. Since D was preparing lunch for me, I carried C and tried to console her. I realized only after sometime, that C's dress was still wet (or she went pissing again!!!) and she had successfully transported some of that stuff to my office dress. I thought about changing the shirt for an instance but changed my mind. Incidentally, the trouser I was wearing also had been anointed by C two days back.
I told Daph, seriously, "What would people think of me, for instance, if someone comes and sniffs my trousers at office...?"
Daph resolved the issue quickly by asking, "Why would anyone come and SNIFF your trousers at office!!?"
I left home, in the pissed on dress, but thinking happily that the issue was solved! At that moment, it dawned on me that other parents might also be coming to office in 'this' condition, or may be worse, and it is not a good idea to shake hands / sit on chairs / etc of anyone that has kids at office. Hmm...I hope the situation is not exasperated by the closed air conditioned office environment...where we sometimes breath in the same air again and again and again.
So, may be, "konja onnukku kaanja pochu" (based on "Kondra paavam thindral pochu") philosophy does not work, after all.
