Beyond Pooptastrophe

I have learned it is not uncommon for a baby to go several days without having bowel movement. In fact, yesterday Ally was about on day 5. After consultation with one of the nurses, I was sent to the pharmacy to obtain some medicine. So I was at the second pharmacy in line when I saw young man go behind the side of the counter and grab two cartons of Kool cigarettes. He entered the line behind and soon began adjusting his clothes. I turned around and without making eye contact saw his jacket was open and he was in the process of stuffing the fourth carton down the front of his pants. Surely the lone clerk manning the cash register saw this or perhaps some of the other workers milling around up front. Apparently not. While I was running through possible options in my head, this young man left the line and went around the counter again and came back with two additional cartons of Kool cigarettes. He stuffed those down the front of his pants as well. Well, I considered stepping out line and alerting one of the employees, but then thought I've got a 10 week old baby at home and I'm really busy at work, this being the end of our fiscal year and all. The last thing I need is to be jacked in the face by this guy who had about 6 six inches on me. So I, presumably like the other 5 people in line and all the employees, let this man go about his shoplifting business and leave the store. When I returned home, we had to consult the doctor since the medicine I had obtained called for consulting a doctor when giving the medicine to a child less than two years old. The doctor's advice contradicted the nurse's. That is, she told us to wait it out. Later, I was downstairs with my other brother when Erica called "Dave! Dave! Dave." I ran upstairs and was hit immediately by the stench. The stench had always been absent before. Now it was if the sewer line had backed up into the house. The diaper was overflowing with a brown mush. Now, we've been through a few pooptastrophes, but this was beyond pooptastrophe, it wasn't human. So to sum up, poops are less frequent, but more potent.
