An exclusive club

So few things we do have not been done before.   The paths we walk down are like that because many have walked them before.    Yesterday, I did something that I feel puts me into an exclusive club.   Probably not the first, but definitely one of few.

The dynamics of the situation were thus:   1)  I had finished dinner   2)  Cindy was still eating 3) Our little girl needed her bottom wiped  and 4)  she had a preference as to who did the job -- and it wasn't me.

So there I was negotiating with someone to wipe their bottom.   Yes, that was it.   I bargained to wipe someone else.  It was a serious negotiation filled with reasoned arguments and promises for the future.

I just wanted to note the absurdity of it all.
