Christening Crisis Avoided
Once you get past the annual boom of babies amongst your friends, comes the Christenings. I went to one for a friend not long ago, and of course the baby was center stage as they should be. But their “star”was dimmed by one of the events you pray won’t happen. The little darling upchucked on her Christening dress.
Mom, was frantic of course. We were at her mother-in-laws and she hadn’t brought another Christening outfit. (Well, who needs a spare, after all?) While they were clustered around the now loudly protesting baby, I passed Mom my gift, which was a wonderful little Sophie Dess number that would replace the froth and lace. Not to mention that morning’s breakfast. Then I took the dress off to the kitchen where I knew she kept stuff in the closet.
Baby formula is basically protein. It needed to be taken care of right away if there were ever any more children to wear the dress. A quick rinse to get off the leftovers, a squeeze and I rolled it up and laid it by the sink. This wasn’t the time to remind her not to wash a protein stain in warm water or it would set, so I taped a note to her bottle of enzyme cleaner and left it beside the dress.
