Creative Uses for Kitchenware
We’re currently reading Jennifer Weiner’s Goodnight Nobody, about a crime-solving Mom in suburban Connecticut, and one of the funny things she mentions is a Super Mom who doesn’t allow her child to wear diapers and instead has trained him to eliminate over an adaptively reused salad bowl. At first, we thought this had to be the realm of imagination taking over, but lo…Sunday’s New York Times featured an article on "infant potty training", complete with a picture of a 7 month old (A. Seven. Month. Old!!!!) perched on the toilet. And the article mentions using other containers, such as a sink or pot. Wow. Truth really is stranger than fiction.
