[This is a pre-Gracie re-post from 2019.]
Tiny Bow Tie o’ the Day believes, like I do, that one of the fantastic things about having a bigly extended family and a gaggle of friends is that there is almost always a baby soon to be born. We’ve got infants on the way from all directions right now.
For the brand spankin’ new babies and their parents, we always put together pretty much the same gift cornucopia to present to the new bambino. It’s stuff they will need. Suzanne’s special contribution to our diapers-and-wipes-and-bibs-filled offering is a pile of baby blankets she’s created. She does not believe a baby needs only one of her blankets. And she is right. Any baby who receives many Suzanne-made blankets is guaranteed to be a happy baby, and a happy baby translates into happy parents.
My special contribution to the baby’s gift bundle is buying the diaper rash-slaying Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. With a baby product name like that, you know it’s exactly the kind of thing my eccentric self must give a newborn. Diaper rash is not pleasant, and Butt Paste is effective at soothing the pain and solving the problem itself. At least as far as Butt Paste’s name goes, any baby’s diaper-changer gets a minor giggle out of using it.
But I am here to caution you: Do not confuse Boudreaux’s Butt Paste with Rub Some Butt bbq seasoning. Do not mistakenly put the Rub Some Butt in the baby’s room, while also mistakenly putting the Boudreaux’s Butt Paste in the pantry. That would be a tragedy. Look at the labels closely, folks. Like the RIF television ads told us in the 70’s, Reading is Fundamental.
