I’ve changed tires, used
signaling triangles and vests before when having car problems like I suppose
most of us have done before.
I’ve used the first aid kit
in the car to patch up my oldest son’s hand not that long ago when doing
outdoors activities. I’ve also used the water kept in my car before several
times, both for drinking and refilling a friend’s car radiator (not ideal, but
better than nothing).
Yesterday we were at a restaurant
with my parents and I took my youngest son to the bathroom. Juggling with my
son, the toilet, the paper and trying to keep him from touching anything while taking
him to the toilet I ended up holding him in a weird position. It was only after
he was done that I noticed that part of his pants had stayed up too high and he
ended up with peed pants and underwear. What to do?
I quickly carried him to the
parking lot, used the back of the SUV as an improvised dressing room. We keep a
spare set of clothes in our car for each family member. I cleaned up the little
guy with some wipes, changes his underwear and jeans and we were back to the
restaurant in minutes and enjoyed the rest of the day.
I learned to appreciate
having a spare set of clothes during a shooting course that took place one
stormy day. The class wasn’t canceled in spite of the pouring rain which made
it all more interesting, but driving back home soaking wet was not fun.
You may get caught in rain,
someone may spill coffee over you, a child may throw up over you, you might get
sick yourself and need to change you underwear or full set of clothes. If
caught in a disaster, there’s a good chance you may end up wet, dirty, bloody
and with torn clothes. A clean set of clothes can be a big bonus in such a
situation.
