Diaper in the sky


Airfare $1200
Snacks $4.50
Luggage check-in $60

Changing a standing two year olds drippy, poopy diaper in an airplane bathroom while he screams at the top of his lungs and bangs his head against the door and people outside pound on the door and shout are you OK, do you need help?

Priceless.

Yes, I know there is a changing table above the toilet in the airplane bathroom and if I had given birth to a premature baby in flight and changed that two pound baby’s diaper before we landed it might have been small enough to fit on that 10 inch table.

Your last line was the funniest thing I've read in a long time.

hee-hee...

still laughing.

*not that 2lb babies born on airplanes are funny, but the scenario of a 10 inch changing table is*

I actually laughed out loud on your post. I haven't flown with my kids yet. Your post makes me think that there may be value in waiting until they're both potty-trained.

LadyFi said...

LOL! You're so right... Changing a two-year-old on a plane is a nightmare!

I cannot even imagine trying to change a diaper on an airplane!

Alissa Grosso said...

Since I think changing diaper is a challenge to begin with, changing a diaper in an airplane should be some sort of Olympic event.

Those changing tables are USELESS!!! But I am not sure that I have heard a funnier description.

I hope that you have a wonderful new year and that it does not involve anymore mid-air poopy changes!

Oh my! I can barely fit my but in one of those bathrooms and its not that big! Your experience rivals an olympic event!

I remember those days! With a hubby in the military, being stationed overseas, and dragging five little ones around the world on Stand-by military cargo planes, (strapped into hammock-like benches called jump seats) traveling was a real adventure. If it doesn't kill you, you'll be stronger for it! Enjoy your adventures!
PS: Thanks for stopping by my blog!

That is too funny. I have never been in the bathroom on an airplane...shocking I know, but I can only imagine how hard this would be.

Mary K Brennan said...

I haven't graduated to that point in my life that allows me to feel comfortable bringing my children on a plane. Kudos to you Mom.
By the looks of the picture, he did real well! Happy trails.

Nice. I was laughing too. At least they didn't open the door from the outside when he was banging on the door and screaming! :) Happy New Year! Shelby

I always thought those "changing tables" looked completely useless!!!

Hilarious!

Shell said...

I always changed my son's diaper right there on the seat and glared at anyone who glared at me. Those changing tables are useless!

Stopping in from SITS.
