"Mais, she's sick bad with the flu and she can't be around nobody, so I took off work to take care of her and the baby...this child must mess his diaper every 10 minutes! I don't know how she keeps up!" Boudreaux said as he pinned another diaper to the line.
Thibodeaux recognized the stress his friend was going through and offered some good advice. "Boudreaux, don't mess with these old cotton diapers while Marie is sick. I'm going to the drug store and buy you them disposable diapers...when the baby makes a mess, you that off, throw it away, and put on a new one...you don't have to wash nothing!" Thibodeaux came back with a box of disposable diapers and showed Boudreaux how to use them, then wished his friend luck and was off to work. After his day was done, he made a pass back to check on Boudreaux's situation. He found Boudreaux sitting on his porch smoking a cigarette and reading the paper...looking very relaxed compared to the scene that morning.

"Boudreaux! You need to change that baby's diaper, yeah! There must be 10 pounds of mess in there for sure!" said Thibodeaux in disbelief.
Boudreaux lit another cigarette and said, "Don't worry, Tib...you bought the good ones...the box says they can take from 20 to 24 pounds!"
