[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 733846, member: 21572"] My mom used to call [B]baby training pants[/B], "[B][I]soakers[/I][/B]", and it just stuck with me, and [B]diapers[/B] in our house when my siblings were babies were "[B]flannelettes[/B]", because they were made out of cotton-flannelette. Sure, we still referred to [B]diapers[/B] as [B]diapers[/B], but mom used the term "[B]flannelettes[/B]" a lot. When I started babysitting, there was a mother I sat for that called her kids [B]rubber pants[/B], "[B][I]waterproofs[/I][/B]", and that one sort of stuck with me on and off (as in memory), though I never used it.
