I thought our substituting diapers for toilet paper was one of my more brilliant innovations (though it makes a surprising number of people feel squeamish to hear about). But in the end we may give it up. Here’s what’s happening: the diapers fray and hundreds of little bits of fabric and threads end up in the laundry sink, where they gum up the works and cause the sink to overflow. Last week I spent some time cutting off the frayed ends of the diapers – I call them frayzles – to see if that helps. What else did I have to do on a Saturday night?
