Whoa whoa whoa she’s a lady…

This morning I went to get our little princess up and ready to go. She was wearing one of her brothers t-shirts (girls start on the “oversized t-shirt at bedtime” thing early, don’t they?) and a diaper.

I set her on the floor and went to the closet to pick out an outfit. Something appropriately cute and maybe even pink. Guys are good at this. (Yeah, right)

I turned around and she had removed her diaper and peed on the floor. “Da da da.” I grunted and wiped the carpet with the diaper. “Okay, wait here” I went to the bathroom to toss Diaper 1 and get Diaper 2.

When I came back there was another puddle, but this one was three feet away from the first. “Da da da!” She is quite proud of her ability to puddle with impunity.

After sponging up Puddle 2 with Diaper 2, we finally managed to get her hiney wrapped in some Luvs. At which point she ran out to the kitchen. “Ma ma MA!”

Taxed and the Big O

According to a spokeswomen for Harpo Productions Inc., Oprah’s company, the recipients must pay a tax on the winnings, just like any prize.

For a brand new Pontiac G-Six, the model given away on the show, the sticker price is $28,500. The $28,500 would need to be claimed as income so, depending on the individuals tax bracket, the tax could be as high as $7,000.

Now, if Oprah is as generous as everyone said after “giving” these 270 people a new car, perhaps she can find it in her heart to pay their income tax?

Or would they have to pay tax on it if she did?

Catch-22?
