[Important] Applying The 3 C's to ... Baby Situations

Level 0: Principles Applied In Dire Circumstances

It’s a a new month, and we have two very important things to bring to your attention on this glorious first day of April.

1. Baby Situations

The following story took place a few months ago.

This is for the parents out there - if you're squeamish and haven't cared for a baby, you may wish to pass on this.

Oook

So

There was a loud noise

A burbling cry

Aaannnnd

I'm pretty sure my boy has an explosion in his pants

well,

At 8 months old he's afforded that privilege.

ok.

Lets see what needs to happen.

My first reaction

CLEAN THAT SHIT UP AS FAST AS POSSIBLE

(literally)

But wait

If I start with Collapsing Time first, I'm probably going to have a disaster on my hands ultimately

Lets back it up.

I don't even have a Certain Path to cleaning the poop.

I don't even know what kind of mess I'm dealing with.

Clarity¹ it is then.

Clarity on ... this tiny boy's poop filled pants.

(Son if you're reading this in the future, I'm sorry, but also don't sweat it, I definitely shit my pants as well when I was a baby)

Alright, here we go.

I lie him down. Prep the wipes.

Wait,

Thats not enough.

More wipes.

Better make it two extra diapers too.

And a couple rags.

Ok.

Socks off. They are ok.

Start pulling the Pants down ... alright, we've got southern excursion of poop.

Wad those up and set them aside,

Start undoing the onesie annnnd

Yep.

Its

Alllll the way up his back.

Ok so,

Clarity. We've got shit down his legs and up his back. We've got enough wipes, rags, and diapers to contain the mess as long as he doesn't go wild.

I give him a look.

He calmly looks back

Good he's chill.

(Note: thank you son)

Time for Certainty.² Im just gonna go top down then bottom up.

Get the poop off his back, then his legs, THEN remove the laden diaper. That way I attend to the emergent overflow before the real load.

Then we do primary cleaning and switch out the first rag and clear our space. THEN secondary cleaning, dry him off, fresh diaper and new clothes (which are already in arms reach).

Sounds good.

Lets execute

And that brings us to Collapsing Time.³

With Clarity of the situation and Certainty of the path to get where I want to go (a clean baby), the process went by super fast.

For as much of a shit explosion that was, I probably got it done faster than Id have thought possible.

We're cleaning baby poop explosions with the 3 Cs since 2023.

As such I am announcing The Ass Wiper's Tier of TGA

For all the parents out there dealing with the everyday bombs and uncontained events.

All you gotta do is go into The Unofficial TGA Facebook Page and comment "AWT" to claim your membership.

2. The Corner and The Chronicles

It’s been a long time coming. We’re happy that it’s finally here.

---

As we prepare to bring you the next iteration of this publication, things will be moving around to accommodate increased collaboration and what we hope is a tremendous amount of additional value.

We’re honored to announce the Cornerman’s Corner and the Cornerman’s Chronicles as part of integrating Dr. Jeff Spencer further into TGA.

Jeff has always played all in for Guardians both in-person and virtual and will continue to do so at the highest level possible (it’s the only way he knows how to play). Now, we have a structure to help more readers, listeners and viewers benefit from the Cornerman’s wisdom.

It’s a new structure, and it will likely change as we go along and learn.

Here’s how it looks now:

The Cornerman’s Corner. Across the top of the screen you’ll see a navigation bar. In that navigation bar you’ll see “The Corner” - you can quickly access Dr. Jeff’s wisdom by click there any time. You’ll be familiar with the layout, as it’s similar to what we’re already doing.

Comment access is turned on for TGA+ members so they can engage the field right here inside the publication. We will compile the questions, comments and observations for Jeff and he will answer them via video or audio - and probably while riding his bike. How cool is it to have an Olympic cyclist answer your questions while riding his bike? Which brings us to…

The Cornerman Chronicles. The Cornerman Chronicles will be a combination of video, audio and cleaned up transcripts from the years of dialogue we’ve had with Dr. Jeff. Most of the answers to the questions asked in the cornerman’s corner will likely end up here.

As much as we love the written word (and people that read), there is a certain quality in the way Jeff answers questions - his “steam of consciousness” cadence - that can simply never be captured in text. In other words, it would be a disservice to not let you listen to his responses or watch him masterfully integrate graphics and visual models.

The cornerman’s chronicles will be posted primarily as a podcast to make for easily listening on whatever podcast player or device you prefer. Most will have a video along with the resources mentioned posted alongside the audio.

Here’s what you can do right now:

As always,
