I ded receive a package from Temu last Sunday. They shipped via UPS, and UPS dumped it onto the local post office, which is odd because I've received UPS packages here several times. Apparently the local PO does normally do packages on Sunday.

Good addition, Kat.  For a split second I always want Xerexes to be plural because of the es ending.  Amanda is so good to John, it's very sweet.  And finally, John sleep like me!  I literally sleep through earthquakes.  Though I'm pretty sure I'd wake up if someone picked me up.  As always, thanks for sharing.

Your insides aren't an infinitely stretchable balloon so please be careful.  Water pressure from your house plumbing is way higher than what you get from a gravity enema.

I leave that question in the hands of my Daddy as that's step one for a good daily routine, trust your partner/caregiver.

Thanks! Those were all things I experienced as well before I learned how much easier it was to get information off of the internet (and give my parent's old computer a lot of viruses). And it's funny too, because no way our parents would have realized that we were looking because we wanted to wear them. Kids get curious about all kinds of things when they are bored silly during a shopping trip. Yes, as has been hinted, Maddy's diaper making experiment didn't go all that well. The next flashback will cover exactly what happened for her then. I managed some very good makeshift diapers myself. Plastic garbage bags cut into the shape of a diaper, then lined with a ton of toilet paper, and then taped on like normal.  I promise we are getting very close to Maddy getting what she wants (though not anywhere close to the end of the story)
