Curious about whether you’re prepared for kids? It’s a monumental choice! Friends often seek my advice on this topic, and I typically respond with a drowsy shrug, saying, “It’s a deeply personal decision.”
What I really want to say is, “Can you handle the Peppa Pig theme on repeat without losing your sanity? Are you ready to survive on minimal sleep for months? Do you find joy in literal messes?” But instead of shrugging, I can now just share this viral video and shout, “You can’t handle the truth!”
In the clip, a dad named Lucas is taking his baby to swim lessons when he catches a whiff of a “bad poo.” Thinking they could wait until they arrive, they continue driving. What they find when they get there is nothing short of shocking.
Oh my goodness. This child hasn’t just had a monumental blowout—she’s also reached into her diaper and pulled out a handful, and it seems she may have even tasted some! The best part? When mom exclaims, “Can we go to a place with wipes?” WIPES? WIPES? Does she really believe anything less than a firehose will manage this catastrophe?
The video also humorously illustrates the dynamics between parents, as mom insists, “You’re sitting here, buddy”—and dad retorts, “No way, YOU are!”
So, quiz time!
After watching the video, did you…
- a) Feel a bit nauseous, tear up, and switch it off?
- b) Gag and scream, “No, no, no! This is the end of the world!”
- c) Simply declare, “I can’t handle this,” and leave the room?
- d) Burst into laughter and share the tale of when your kid threw up on you?
If you chose a-c, you might not have dealt with cleaning up after another human, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t ready for a child. Just be prepared to manage your gag reflex! If you chose d, congratulations! You have kids, and your sense of what’s suitable to discuss in mixed company has likely diminished.
