Iced Pee

I emptied our Diaper Genie the other day and was actually surprised by how heavy the bag was. There weren't that many diapers in there, but the bag must have weighed around 20 pounds. I tossed the bag right outside the back door, not wanting to leave the kids unattended long enough to take the bag out to the trash can. I thought I would take it out later, when they were napping. But I forgot. The diapers sat overnight. And the next morning when I went outside, I grabbed the bag. I lifted it, and the previously heavy bag was extraordinarily light. Mainly because all of the pee had frozen and was so heavy that the bag ripped and the diapers poured all over the place. Frozen diapers roll. And sink in pools.
