Jimmy's Big Sesame Street Diaper Idea

Me Knows Better Than to Say This… but I will. Me not sure why I am on this subject, but here goes. I was day dreaming… one day that is… while looking at a pair of disposable diapers. Hold that thought for a moment… It’s not what you are thinking.  I am not wondering if the sizes will fit me or looking to add to the family, but it just happened. (Me not sure where these things come from… once again a little clarification - that is the inner workings of my mind… not babies or diapers. I have good handle on both). But to get back to the subject at hand, today’s diapers have so many varieties in patterns and colorful logos that weren’t available in my diaper purchasing day… in this daydream, the particular one I was looking at had Big Bird from Sesame Street on it.

That got my mind to thinking… if someone would put a sensor into the bottom… then parents would know that the diaper was ready to be changed. Then to springboard off that… what if we added a voice alert system similar to those obnoxious greeting cards that play music when opened.

I can almost hear Big Bird casually mention in that semi-stupid voice, “Hey, someone just laid a big one down here!”

Or we could have Bert and Ernie added to the print pattern and they could debate the situation, “Ah Bert… I think it’s your turn to change this one.” Then Bert could chime in, “Oh no Ernie. You’re mistaken… I got the last one.”

Or the Cookie Monster could shout in that obnoxious tone, “Cookie!”

Well… he always was kind of an odd Muppet.

Or we could have Kermit zee Frog say, “We got a green one down here,” only if the sensors determined it was a bit messy.

Or even The Count could join in the fun. “That’s a number one… oh sorry… make that a number two.”

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy… come back to reality.

EDITOR’S NOTE: While Jimmy was researching this subject… well actually visiting Walmart to get a photo of a Sesame Street Diaper… he got lost in the store. Not wanting to make a big deal of it, he casually walked up to a Walmart store employee and in a soft voice he asked, “Say where do you keep the diapers?”


The clerk asked a clarifying question, “You mean,” her voice got a couple of octaves higher, “… the baby diapers?”

“Yes.”

“They are in the back corner over there.”

As Jimmy was walking away, he was a bit perturbed… even though he looked a bit old to be getting baby diapers, he could have been a grandpa looking out for his family. Hey… it wasn’t even out of the realm of possibilities that he could have a little one that age… was it?

It wasn’t until he took a few more steps and it finally dawned on him that she may have mistaken Jimmy’s quiet question for diapers as a request for ADULT diapers. COME ON NOW. DO I LOOK THAT OLD?????
