Are you contemplating parenthood? This monumental choice can be quite daunting. Numerous friends have approached me for advice on this matter, and I often respond with a sleepy shrug, saying, “It’s a deeply personal decision.”
What I really want to convey is, “Can you tolerate the Peppa Pig theme song on repeat all day without losing your sanity? Can you survive on minimal sleep for months? Do you have an affinity for dealing with bodily fluids?” Thankfully, I no longer need to resort to vague responses. I can simply share this viral video and exclaim, “You can’t handle the reality!”
In this eye-opening footage, a father named Ben takes his baby to swim lessons when he detects an unpleasant odor. Thinking they could change the child upon arrival, they continue driving. What awaits them is nothing short of a disaster.
Oh my goodness. This child hasn’t just experienced a monumental diaper blowout; she has also reached into her diaper and pulled out a handful of the contents—possibly even tasting some! The most amusing moment is when the mom exclaims, “Can we go to their house where they have wipes?” WIPES? Does she genuinely believe anything less than a fire hose will tackle this catastrophe?
The video also humorously illustrates the dynamics of parental roles, as the mom insists, “You’re going to sit back here, buddy”—to which the dad retorts, “I’m not sitting back here, YOU are.”
Now, let’s take a quiz!
When you watched the video, did you…
- a) Feel a bit nauseous and quickly turn it off?
- b) Start gagging and cry, “No, no, no! This is horrific!”
- c) Simply declare, “I can’t watch this,” and leave the room?
- d) Burst out laughing and share your own story of your child’s epic mess?
If you chose a-c, it’s clear you’ve yet to experience the chaos of cleaning up after another human. However, that doesn’t mean you aren’t ready to become a parent—just perhaps prepare your gag reflex. If you chose d, congratulations! You’re well into parenthood and have a wonderfully skewed perspective on what constitutes appropriate conversation.
