Spin Cycle - Changes

When Jen from Sprite’s Keeper announced that our Spin Cycle assignment this week was about change, the first thing that came to mind was diapers. After 11 years of changing diapers it’s hard not to associate the word change with the word diaper.
The last time that Luigi wore a diaper was the day before he turned 3. All of the others took a couple more months. To make things easier, I’m going to use “3 years” as the cut off date in my math problem.
Also, to make the math problem a little more simple, we’ll just use 6 as the average number of diaper changes per day. I know it’s more like 8 (12 for some of my poop monsters) but… we’ll just go with 6.
3 years = 1,095 days
1,095 days x 4 kids = 4,380 days
Frogger was born 102 days ago
4,380 days + 102 days = 4,482 days
4,482 days x 6 diapers a day = ………….. Are you ready for it?
Seriously?? You ready??
Twenty-six THOUSAND eight hundred ninety-two diapers!!
And just think… I still have another 5,000 diapers to go with Frogger.
(Is anyone else thinking about the episode of Spongebob where Patrick & Spongebob raise the baby clam??)
(Is anyone else really jealous of the parents who use cloth diapers? I wish I had that sort of control over my gag reflexes. Kudos to you guys!!)
