Waking up at 2am as a new parent is no surprise. In fact it's a very common facet of parenthood. However, the early hours of January 14th 2013 was very different.
'Was that you or him?'
She confirmed it was the baby. Silence dawned only to be interrupted by another wet fart, a longer one. Then another.
'I hope his diaper's on tight.' I mumbled.
Mrs.B slipped her hand up his baby sack and felt the warm moisture.
'It's leaked out.' She grumbled. 'it's all over his clothes.'
Boom-Boom continued to suck unconcerned about his manure when yet another long wet fart followed.
'Shit!' I snapped ironically wide awake now.
Mrs.B and I looked at one another when she said;
'I need to pee, badly.'
Like Keanu Reeves in Speed, I could hear the voice of Dennis Hopper echo through my cranium;
We rushed in to the bathroom with him latched on to my wife, undressed him over the sink while he continued to feed while I simultaneously began to clean him with warm water. A box of wax sat on the sink as someone had forgotten to put it away and Boom-Boom hovered inches away from the open lid. With enough of a fix to sustain him for a minute, Mrs.B relived herself as the baby lay flat with his tummy on my hand while I continued to douse him.
'Where's the towel? We need a towel.' I barked.
'Shit.' Mrs.B whispers. 'He's got body-wax in his hair!'
To top it off, today is Boom-Boom's one month birthday!
