Art of Parenting
By Judith Shakespeare, Mother;
Rule three-ninety-two
Poise Pads may save lives,
standard maxis not so much-
leak-proof wings, my ass.
Heed my warning, all:
One must always have diapers.

Friday, 15 February, 2008 at 8:06I'm also guessing those thick puffy maxis could work as toddler "liners" in a pinch. They are also especially good as self-adhesive knee pads in the summer when you're learning to roller skate in the street, as my neighbor down the street learned when she came home to find her daughter and friends skating around wearing "these cool knee pads we found in the bathroom." McGyver in roller skates?
PS My friends in grad school used to call me McGyver, but never in heels; you are clearly classier than I am. :)
