A sniper for the diaper

Comment from Mia Twysted
I have that problem myself, putting a diaper on backward. My two came to me walking, talking, and pretty well potty trained so I didn't have to change diapers. My daughter has a 1-year-old and from the moment he came home from the hospital I have loved and spoiled him to death, but every time I change him I put the back of the diaper to the front. Every time. The worst part is, as my daughter points out repeatedly, they are labeled. It says "Back" and "Front" on them. As a writer, you think I would read the instructions.

Really, are they? I never notices that. Even when I was working at the daycare, I had a deal with my coworker: she was changing the diapers and I was reading to them before nap.

I think this is a good entry for the How Things Actually Went Down contest.
The story is well told and clear with a humorous side.
Well done and I wish you good luck with the contest.

Thank you so much, Ms. Sharon.
Comment from Mark Valentine
Cute story. I was never a good diaper-changer either. Not only would I throw out the disposable diaper, but, if too much fecal matter got on the onesie or shirt, I'd throw that out too. My wife got a bit frustrated at my expensive way of changing diapers, so she took over the lion's share of that duty.
I like your plan of enlisting the four year-old - clever, but the young ones will always rat you out in the end, won't they?

Yes, you are so right:)
Comment from Bill Schott
This story, A Sniper for a Diaper, was an hilarious story about the beginning days of caring for babies. There is no preparation other than the doing.

Comment from elchupakabra
She said that (it) is only (for) this time because she has an afternoon shift at the hotel and her husband works until 7 pm.
I can (only) imagine what she is going to be (like) as a teenager.
You know what, no(w) you are now my official helper, would you like that
Other than these small edits I liked this piece. Good luck in the contest. Later daze.

Thank you so much for your review and the grammar corrections.

I laughed with kindred feelings at your babysitting problem with the diaper. I know about cats, like you, and not about kids. Your interactions with the toddler are very funny. I especially liked that you wanted the kid to come potty trained.

I changed the our girls nappies when they were babies, back then they had cloth nappies, not the Throw away ones my daughters changed their Bairns with. My younger daughter is an overseer in a childcare place. Well done, blessings, Roy
Typo : Trying (entrain) a four year old. Train? 2; I (sighted) Sighed?

Another humorous tale this time about those darned kids...They can tie you up in knots. Nothing like diapers to get you to try to get out of the job...by manipulating the kid to do it for you. But I would have tried that too. estory

Comment from Mastery
Hi, Iza. I am not sure you are taking my advice and suggestions to heart as you never respond to them in any way.? So, I will offer these things on this one and then I promise I will not bother you any further.
Above your title, you have:
"how actually the things went down"
Change to: "How things actually went down"
Also, Your first paragraph is much too long. break it up into about three different ones...at least two. Remember paragraphing is to give the reader a "mental breather" as he or she reads.
Also: change this: "So here am me, killing my phone......" to: So, here I am, killing my phone...."
Good luck with this: :) Bob

Hi Bob, please don't be so mad with me. I really appreciate your grammar corrections, I am quite behind with my answers. I have 473 reviews that I have to get back. I know I am ashamed of my delay, but as you know I am working full time and I have also a crazy family to take care. I know lots of excuses, but this is the true. Thank you for the good luck wishes, usually I get the try again ticket:) Have a blessed day and stay safe my friend and do shower me with your corrections, as you can see they are taken seriously.

You are mistaken, Iza. I am not angry at all. When I express my true feelings about your writing, you should not take them as personal attacks. If you feel my reviews are in anger, I simply will not hurt your feelings any further. I was only trying to help you. If you do not want criticism or suggestions that is quite alright. So many people on here say they have not time to answer reviews or review work of others. yet, I constantly see them post two and three items a day of their own?? Bless you, my friend. Have a good day. :) Bob

Hey Mister😊you misunderstood me, I do try to review as often as I can and I learned a long time ago that you can please everyone. Writing it comes from the heart and brings lots of grief and my biggest grief is the bad English. I always appreciate corrections and honest feedback. There are some people that are very mean and those one I ignore😉 but you are not part of that category.

You are a sweetheart, Iza. :) Bob
