Nappy Story

I'm in the supermarket, calling W on my mobile.

Me: OK, I'm standing in front of the nappies. There are quite a few to choose from. Active-baby, environmentally-conscious ones, (reading) stay dry the whole night through - don't they all do that?
W: It depends what fills them.
Me: True enough.
W: We need newborn ones.
Me: Yes, I know that. But he's about 4kg and these newborn ones fall into three sizes. Do I get size 1 or size 2?
W: What's the difference?
Me: Not much Size 1 is for 2 to 5kg babies and size 2 is for 3 to 6kg. How quickly is he going to grow? Size three is 4 to 7kg.
W: That last one is too big. Go for the smaller ones - that way they'll fit better. We don't want any leakages.
Me: Good point. And number? They're in packs of 27 or 54 - some have 62. Plus some are on offer and others aren't.
W: We'll need a good few judging by the last few days.
Me: Yeah, I had a two-nappy incident earlier today.
W: Go for a bigger pack.
Me: 92?
W: Yeah. Should last us about ten days at the rate we're going.
Me: Let's hope so.

It did last ten days. And to think I ever wondered at how many you get in a pack. He's already on size 2.
