Don't waste the bottle

Now I am not a super dad but if someone gives me an award for being one I promise to receive it with a smile and a small speech which I already wrote.  My son (Jaxon) who is now in daycare was my training ground for any future kids I would have.  (Hopefully therapy won't be too expensive.)  Today, I now have 2 kids (I don't even sneeze around my wife anymore) so I now have a second chance.

How much do you waste is the question?  

There is a lot of waste in the world. We waste money, energy, time and so much more. 

What does this have to do with your daughter Jai? 

I am glad you asked.  

There is one thing that should never be wasted or in my case forgotten about.  That is...  Drum Roll please...

Breast milk.

DO NOT forget the breast milk that your wife pumped the night before.  In my case I made a huge mistake and forgot that there was breast milk in the fridge (please remember I am a natural blonde). Now when I realized that I had forgotten it, Vivian was 10 minutes away from coming home from a long day.  That's right the breast milk which only has a 24 hour fridge life was on it's last leg or in this case breast.  I had 2 options:

1. Dump the milk and lie about giving it to her.   
2. Tell her the truth and take it like a man.

What did I do you ask?

( Vivian is Colombian.  Colombian people have had a very intense emotional history that is still following them to this day.  The 80's and 90's were pretty rough.  However, it's a lovely country with people who couldn't be more emotionally loving to foreigners.  At least that has been my experience.  Vivian (who is proud to be Colombian but was born here) is no exception.  However, did you see the  movie The Incredible Hulk?  Imagine the Hulk as a Colombian woman who has been told their breast milk was wasted.  )


What did I do you ask?


I told the painful truth and Vivian needs a new set of clothes.

Until tomorrow.  If I live.

Jai
