Robin’s 2 cents

I know you have been lying awake at night wondering why baby diapers have brand names such as “Luvs”, “Huggies” and “Pampers”, while undergarments for old people are called “Depends”.

Where here is the low down on the whole thing. When babies soil their pants, people are still gonna Luv’em, Hug’em and Pamper’em. When an old person does, it “Depends” on who’s in the will!
