    Mine is an expert.

    My youngest is Lily. She's 6. She got a Baby Alive doll from her grandpa. I was helping her get it out from the package and saw that it was like a Betsy Wetsy doll and used doll sized disposable diapers.

    I was helping her put on the diaper.

    Me: Let's see if I can remember how to do this.

    Lily: You had a Baby Alive?

    Me: (pointing at Lily) I had an actual baby! YOU!!! :)

    Oh god, I'm so sarcastic I'd be tempted to say "why would I put diapers on a dead baby?" lol

    I'm working on getting my kid to "get" my dry sense of humor; it's an uphill battle but she's getting there! :)

    Ahhhhh I know who they are, just a little slow on the uptake, which is obviously why I want to be a dispatcher! lol

    My memories are more of the road trip than the show. Thankfully every show they've played is archived on the interwebs so every now and then I'll go find one that I was at and roll on
