Schooling

Many groups of fish, tropical tetras are a good example, swim about in large compact groups called schools. These groups present a compact target to the unwary predator who dives in to snatch a few tasty morsels. But, just as the predator approaches, the school bursts in all directions leaving the larger fish confused and hungry.

Wonks Anonymous, whose beautiful and highly intelligent younger daughter has not yet mastered night time bladder control, feels like that hapless predator every time he approaches the disposable diaper aisle. There he is confronted with a myriad of slightly different products identified with cryptic designations.

Wonks Anonymous knows enough to get the pull ups - they look more like real underwear. He also knows that he will be dead if Disney princesses are not involved. After that it is pure confusion. Night time or nap time? 2T to 3T or 3T to 4T? Will extra absorbent 2T to 3T substitute for regular 3T to 4T? Where are the Disney princesses? Have they been discontinued or are they just hidden behind the Batman pull ups - the ones with padding to make little boys look like pro wrestlers.

At about this point Wonks Anonymous just wants to grab something and run screaming from the store. Sometimes it works fine. Other times he finds himself cleaning up soggy sheets and running to another store to buy something that works.

Anyone with a smaller child need an almost complete package of princess pull ups?
