As a parent, you become pretty numb to things like vomit and boogers and even poop — but it's a completely different story when it's a poop explosion, or "poopsplosion," if you will. There are approximately a million other things a parent would rather do than change a poopsplosion, and we know, because we've been there. If you've also been there, you'll recognize these 19 stages of changing one of those parental nightmares all too well.
Oh no.
And life as you know it has just ended.
It's. Everywhere.
Ewwwwww. Ew ew ew ew.
You feel like an awful person, but you’re only human, and this is ripe!
You can see the smears creeping up your tot’s back and down their legs.
This is not a drill and they did not talk about this in What to Expect When You’re Expecting.
You can see it, smell it, and, oh god, you can taste it. Yep, it’s in your mouth.
This stuff is stuck. It’s in every crevice, and it’s not going away.
You didn’t sign up for this.
And no, no, that's certainly not poop on your hand. Nope.
The smell has still gone nowhere.
You’ll use all of the soap and water to wash up later.
It’s like a tornado of dirty diapers came through your house.
Nothing has ever been this demanding before. And, seriously, is that poop on the ceiling?
You’ll recover eventually.
