The poop on diapers



My sister, Anne has 4 children and my other sister, Suzanne decided once to calculate how many diapers Anne had changed in her lifetime. Since disgusting subjects are so much fun, I decided to do the math for my own children. The results are .......... a bit stunning. My children were adopted at ages 12m, 18m, 2y2m & 41/2y so the results only include MY changing them!
Months in diapers - 26+33+24 = 83 months
Days in diapers 83x30 = 2490 days
Changes per day (at LEAST 6) 2490x6 = 14,940 diapers
Minutes to change one diaper - 5 14,940x5 = 74,700 minutes
Hours changing diapers - 74,700 divided by 60 = 1,245 hours
I HAVE CHANGED DIAPERS FOR 1,245 HOURS!!
Divide 1,245 by 8 and
It's like working 8 hours a day as a diaper changer for 152 days
Divide 1,245 by 40 and
It's like working full time as a diaper changer for 31 weeks!!
That's a whole lot of stink!
