Last week was EPIC as far as cloth diaper drama. From shaming and dragging people’s kids into it, to outright bullying and internet policing by manufacturers. I’ll say this much, the cloth diaper world was the last place I would have expected to see this all go down. So, for a little lighthearted fun, I’ve added in a few new (and old) favorite lines that you could use if this situation were to arise again. For example:
To a friend who is normally calm getting all heated in a discussion:
“What in the sweet potato fries is going on with you?” – Hallie (Doc McStuffins)
“Good grief.” – Charlie Brown
When you inadvertently say something that ticks someone off:
“I think I took a wrong turn somewhere around Albuquerque.” – Bugs Bunny
“Why does this always happen to me?” – Donald Duck
In a private convo to your CD BFF:
“You know this troll?!?” – King Roland (Sofia the First)
“Ruh Ro Raggie”- Scooby Doo
“Oh MY!” – Minnie Mouse
To someone who is calling you names:
“I know you are but what am I?” – Pee Wee Herman
“All right. You’re going the right way for a smacked bottom.” -Shrek
To calm someone down who’s losing their minds over something that’s not really a big deal:
“You look like you need a cuddle.” – Lamby (Doc McStuffins)
“Just keep swimming.”- Dory (Finding Nemo)
To explain why *now* prints are so popular:
“…you’re not supposed to name it. Once you name it, you start getting attached to it.” – Mike Wazowski (Monsters Inc)
To explain how you got your hands on a certain (hard to find, of the moment, gotta have it, no one else has it, everyone is fighting over it diaper):
“It’s a wibbly wobbly, timey wimey thing.”- Dr. Who
Leaving a discussion that has gotten out of control:
“Zoinks. Let’s get out of here!” – Shaggy (Scooby Doo)
The last *of the moment* diaper is sold:
“Doh”- Homer Simpson
“Oh bother.” – Winnie the Pooh
“That’s all folks!” – Porky Pig

I have to always go with the simple “If you don’t like it, then don’t play the game.” That goes for pricing. Availability. Member conflicts. Anything. It’s up to you to be the change that you want to see in the world.

Yes! There was so much drama a couple months ago! I hope it didn’t turn off anyone who was considering cloth diapers!
