This post was inspired by Alison. Alison is also the wonderful woman who bestowed and created my blog award "share the magic".
I was reading this post and it reminded me of our own little spiel.
It has been extremely hot and humid in our area. Both of our boys are in sports and they practice for over 2 hours. We were watching an AllStar game and a dad was walking very gingerly to the fields. In fact, he was walking bowlegged and resembled a monkey. As he continued to waddle he captured my attention even more. Upon closer inspection I notice the entire seat of his pants were wet. (He rode his motorcycle an hour to the game). He was definitely chaffed. YOUCH! I felt for him but couldn't help snickering at his plight.
The next day Warrior comes in with that exact distinguished walk. He was at football camp for 4 hours a day every day for a week. YOUCH! He comes waddling into the house and mentions nothing of his discomfort to me. He waits until Mr. Incredible comes home. I over hear them talking about being chaffed. (Again, I snicker just a little) I mean seriously, we women put up with many more discomforts than an occassional chaffing). Is it wrong to take a little comfort in their discomfort?? Ok, perhaps I will repent later.
I knew we had some Gold Bond Extra Strength Medicated powder. Surely, that would work. On the bottle it is written relieves pain and itch, soothes & protects skin, and absorbs moisture. Provides relief from pain and itching due to rashes, sunburns, scrapes etc. Did you know that medicated powder applied to a rash will send you through the roof quicker than a firecracker on the fourth of July? I did take pitty on him.
Mr. Incredible went to the store and searched the powder aisle. This is what he came home with.
He was laughing hysterically when he showed me and he couldn't wait to give it to Warrior. This powder MONKEY BUTT . It works. It is a great product and it keeps the bowlegged monkey walk away.

Hey do you have any pictures of Rachel and "The Warrior" at prom?? Would LOV to see them!!
How did you make that connection anyway??
I made the connection because as I was getting to know you through your blog. I came across your beach pictures. I recognized the entire fox family.
That is so hilarious. I think it is a perfect name for the solution to a problem. If anything, it will make them laugh.
I will keep my eyes peeled for that for a present even. Too funny.
I am craving a banana now.
One of my blog friends got a horrible rash on her chest from high heat and humidity...she used the Anti Monkey Butt powder, and the rash disappeared! :)
You have a very beautiful family! :)

HAHAHA!!! A couple of days ago, I wrote about my discovery of MONKEY BUTT!
Beth from the funny farm, thanks for leaving a comment. I clicked on your name but there was no blog to click on. I wanted to read what you had to say about Monkey Butt. Was it a hit in your family, too??
Oh my goodness, that is so funny. I need to find some of that. Sean gets that the first week of being bike cop in the summer. That is awesome. Your poor monkey butts though! I didn't know about the medicated powder sending you through the roof. That is funny too.
NO WAY?!
There really is Monkey Butt?
That is something my brothers need and would seriously buy. HAHAHA!!!!
p.s.
Thanks for the comment on my blog - always good to meet new friends! :)
LOL! That would be the BEST item for a gag gift or white elephant exchange. Now I am going to be looking everywhere!
Our favorite for the "monkey butt walk" is called Boudreaux's Butt Paste. My son who is a soccer fanatic swears by this stuff. We must have it at all times. LOL http://www.buttpaste.com/BLButtPaste.php
Enjoyed the post...too funny.
Funny, that is what I call my diaper babes. Will not definately anymore.. now that I know grown men use that stuff, sick thought!!
ps. warrior, my husband is drueling all your my keyboard, not for you, but your truck!!! I told him you probably work really hard to have that right?
HA this had me laughing out loud!!
I read about this stuff all of the time on another friend's blog...who knew that it really was good for something.
Good to know...LG struggles with that chaffing sometimes. And he doesn't have a motorcycle and he doesn't exercise too often, so maybe he is just a sophisticated neanderthal. (i know i just spelled that wrong but its easier to just acknowledge than to look it up)
