Nuclear Waste
Jun 9th, 2008 | By Mike | Category: Humor CentralOK, so I’m in a cereal rut.
Writing the last blog ( The Golden Torus and The Enchanted Pants) entry brought back memories from when my son was still in diapers and started eating cereal. He was already eating table food, when my wife and I started discussing getting him some fun, sugary cereal as a “dessert treat” of sorts. We both agreed that that would be fine, and that was the last I heard of it.
Weeks later I was on diaper duty when “BLAM”, I came face to face with some of the oddest, scariest looking diaper filling I had ever seen in my life. It was nuclear purple swirled with fluorescent green, and I could swear it was glowing. I shrieked for my wife to come see. I was in a little bit of a panic. I was ready to take him to see the doctor.
My wife looked pensively at the diaper’s contents for a little bit and a smile eventually came to her face. She had recently bought a box of “Buzz Lightyear” Cereal, and he had some earlier that morning. She explained it all to me, showed me the box of cereal and its contents, then chuckled at my reaction.
“Not funny dammit!” I thought he was really sick.
Sure, we laugh at it now, but at that time it really scared me.
“To the diaper pail…..and beyond!”

Nothing like inert food coloring to make a diaper look like a piece from Jackson Pollock’s experiments in sculpture. I wonder what Fruity Pebbles would have done?

You know, I know he ate other colored cereals later, but I don’t remember the other diapers being as dramatic as this one. The Buzz Lightyear cereal is no longer on store shelves, and I’m wondering if the food colorant used had cheap Chinese lead that the FDA disapproved of.
It would explain a lot about my son. 
This might be a good joke to play on my wife….. Wait. I’m the one that got the mandarin oranges/grapes/black beans diaper last night.
Oh yeah, and the kid is old enough to be sticking her hands in the diaper zone during a change.
Not.
Fun.

Ah Black Beans. A double whammy to be sure.
We get interesting colors of poop with Fruit Loops. It’s always a surprise when changing a dirty diapers, that’s for sure.

Too bad the fruity smell of Fruit Loops doesn’t survive to the end of the digestive tract.
