Childfreedom

Let them eat cake

diapercake.jpgAnd finally, because I was fooling around with Elements just now, here’s the diaper cake that my niece and sister took to a baby shower a few weeks ago when we were visiting in March. I’m sorry, I’m just really glad to be childfree when I consider that people actually spend time and creativity and thinking up gifts like this… and giving them.

I mean, really. Ewww.

On one level, it’s really cute and quite pretty, and and a clever way to give a practical gift. On another, let’s all dress up the poop and pretend it doesn’t stink. It’s the kind of thing that makes women go “Awwwwwwww!” in that high, nasal whine that CF women like me reserve for puppies, kitties, and sinister ducks..

What was funny was when we arrived at Tim’s house, I noticed the cake without really seeing it, and thought “Wow!! Elaborate cake. Lot of icing though. Kind of slumped over.”

I wonder if anybody at the shower made the same mistake when they brought out dessert?
