Rick: "March 26-- Joanie goes to visit her mother. I'm on my own with Jeffrey for the first time. At 3:00 a.m. Jeffrey cries out in his sleep from what Joanie has told me. I know this probably means he's wet. So as not to wake him up with the light, I try to change his diapers in total darkness, a task roughly equal in difficulty to taking apart and reassembling an M-19 in a gunny sack. I diaper his head."

Rick needs an anatomy lesson if he can’t tell the difference between a baby’s butt and head in the dark.

So at least his head’s dry.BTW, what does Rick know about taking apart and reassembling an M-16 in a gunny sack? And how has he never before changed a diaper, light or no light?

Actually, it isn’t that difficult to take apart and re-assemble an M-16 in a gunny sack, around 10 parts depending on just how far apart you take it.

OK, if he diapered the boy’s head, how did that M-16 turn out?

In yesterday’s strip, Jeffrey looks more like a 3-year-old than a newborn. I.e., a bit old for diapers.

My grandson, K, the first child, was born a month early. Mom, dad, and I each took turns helping at night. One night K tuned up and his dad warmed up the bottle, then wondered why he was having trouble getting the kid to take it. Turned out he had been holding K upside down and was trying to feed the butt end.

No wonder Jeff turned out to be such a nutball.
