The Proverbial Spot

What is the wet spot on Mommy’s clothing???  The not-remote possibilities include, but are not limited to: pee, runny poop, spit-up, vomit, formula, water, dirty water from the recycle bin, generic Zantac syrup, coffee, wine, diet coke, pureed sweet potatoes (or any fruit/veggie variation thereof [again including but not limited to], such as plums, peaches, avocado, banana, prunes, mangoes, or pears), and anything falling in a general “other” category.

But I digress…this is not the point.  The point is that it doesn’t really matter.  And not only does it not matter what The Spot actually is, it doesn’t matter that it is there enough for me to actually change my clothing b/c The Proverbial Wet Spot will undoubtedly again reappear in under an hour.  This brings us to the primary point that doing laundry is overrated (as if parents have time to do it anyway)…
