She had me concerned

Before sharing what happened, I want to start by saying that it wasn’t as bad as it sounds at first. I walked into the kitchen and slipped on some liquid on the floor. I felt my wife’s diaper and it was the fullest it had ever been, even though it had not been very long since I had changed her. When I got her into the bathroom and removed her skirt, I found that her legs were wet all the way to her shoes. I wiped her down with toilet paper and noticed that the liquid was pink, plus her diaper was very pink and darkest on one side. Needless to say, I was concerned but got her changed and went back into the kitchen to clean the floor. That’s when I realized what must have happened. We have a lock on our refrigerator door and apparently, I had forgotten to lock it. She had gotten out a bottle of Mountain Dew Flamin’ Hot, which is reddish, and the bottle lay empty on the floor. She has a habit of putting things in the waist band of her skirt or diaper. She must have done so with the bottle, open and upside down. Big relief.

      Arrowhead , 

      So glad that was a filing issue rather than sickness. My husband would sometimes go to put things in the pocket but instead would put it in the waistband  of his diaper. Makes for interesting changing time. 

       I once went to change him and found the Tv remote!

    Arrowhead.  

    Your post started to scare me till I completed the read. Please forgive me but I had a little chuckle when I finished. I also had a chuckle when I read Battlebuddy's. Iam trying to remember if I ever found anything in my DHs diapers. I guess he was not as creative. Your LOs are so lucky to have you there for them.

    I'm glad you didn't take her to the ER. That could have been embarrassing for you.

    That was a good chuckle, thank you. 

    I hope it didn't hurt too much when you fell for her again
