The Epitome of White Trash

A quick post...

We have two wireless headphones for our DVD player in our van. Brynley has successfully managed to break the "sizing" mechanism in both pairs (much to her father's dismay). Before we left for Thanksgiving, Andy used duct tape and memory foam to create a pad to set on the head so that they would fit a small head a little better. Hayden was to be using the headphones that plugged in to the jack in the back. Within a few minutes Hayden was complaining that they were hurting his head. Being the resourceful mother that I am, I figured out a way to "fix" the other wireless headphones:
Yep, that is a wad of rolled up toilet paper, tied on to the headphones by another piece of toilet paper!
Hayden didn't even seem to mind when it slipped to the side and was dangling by his cheek.

Brynley liked it too!
When we got in the car to return home, Hayden announced that his toilet paper was gone! My handy roll had somehow disappeared as well... So I came up with an even better solution!

The moral of the story... Next time your child is complaining that the headphones aren't fitting right, try a pool floaty!
