Story 1:
One night, a new mom was trying to change her baby's diaper in the middle of the night. She was trying to be very quiet, but her baby woke up and started crying. The mom tried to soothe her baby, but nothing worked. Finally, she gave up and just changed her baby's diaper while she was crying.
The next morning, the mom told her husband about what had happened. Her husband laughed and said, "Well, at least you got the diaper changed!"
Story 2:
Another time, a dad was trying to change his baby's diaper in the middle of the night. He was trying to be very gentle, but his baby woke up and started squirming. The dad tried to hold his baby down, but the baby kept wriggling. Finally, the dad gave up and just changed his baby's diaper while he was squirming.
The next morning, the dad told his wife about what had happened. His wife laughed and said, "Well, at least you got the diaper changed!"
Story 3:
One time, a mom was trying to change her baby's diaper in the middle of the night. She was trying to be very quiet, but her baby woke up and started pooping. The mom tried to catch the poop, but it was too late. The poop got all over her hands and clothes.
