Rubbish basket

»

Never leave a rubbish basket full of dirty diapers near a baby! I have kept away the baby’s toiletries basket, permanently close the door of the toilet that is full of small pebbles and cleared all loose and small items on the floor, in anticipation of her wriggling her way to picking them up and stuffing them into her mouth. But not the waste basket. I thought it will be too high for the baby to reach and fish out something from it.

Alas, all babies are born with the special ability to detect and obtain chewable objects. With nothing interesting in her path of view to play with, the waste basket was locked as the desirable target. She managed to overturn it. I didn’t realise what happened until I discovered she was out of my sight and heard some strange sound of plastic bag. Must checked her out, just in case she got stuck under the sofa or suffocate herself with some plastic bag. Horror horror! I saw the waste basket overturned, diapers and tissues spilling all over the floor. The best part was, she was happily licking a diaper!! Thank God I always wrap the used diapers properly before I disposed them. She only managed to taste the clean part, and not the dirty stuff inside. Yummy feast, baby?
