    • It is pretty hard to make a mistake when diapering a baby. About the only way a person can go wrong is to put the diaper on backward, a condition that neither the diaperer nor the diaperee is likely to notice. 1988 March 13, Delia Ephron, “In This Year's Movies, Baby Knows Best”, in The New York Times, archived from the original on 03 Jul 2024:
    • Early on in the lives of the rising generation family members, the kids are the diaperees, and their parents are the diaperers.
