Crucial lesson learned #1, sub-part A

by Bill on January 30th, 2008

The other day that I learned the lesson that I should be weary of holding my baby in the morning while dressed for work. I learned this the hard way by having him decorate my shirt with breast milk when I was already five minutes late.

An ever vigilant teacher, he taught me a new lesson today. My wife met me for lunch and we stopped at Starbucks where we met with a friend and former coworker. After talking for a while and getting ready to leave, my little boy proceeded to decimate a completely innocent pair of khakis. I am safe at no point while around him, which warrants further definition to crucial lesson #1.

I am appending the following as subpart A:

At no point while wearing work or dress clothing am I safe from the heat-seeking projectile milk of my child.

Lesson more well learned and expounded upon.

    Yuck. I’ve been lucky recently to only end up with a little drool. There’s nothing worse than warm milk soaking through a shirt.

    Mike,

    Yeah, when that warm milk hits your skin it’s just nasty.

    Thanks for the catch on the link!

    I’ve learned the same lesson through the years. No kids when I wear my suit. I leave home before the kids wake up and when getting home I first put on some sweatpants before even getting close to the kids.
