Explosion

We ate dinner with my extended family tonight at a local Mexican restaurant. Since we live out of town we hadn't met my cousin's husband (they were married a few months ago). He and Chip talked most of the night while Ella sat quietly on Chip's lap. Later during the meal Chip passed Ella to me only to find that her spinach lunch was coming out of her diaper and up her back. Upon further examination it was also all over Chip's shirt. For some reason this really embarrassed Chip. For the life of me I still cannot figure out why. Regardless, he was. As I am walking out of the restaurant to change sweet Ella, I hear the tail end of Chip and Joe's conversation.
J: I bet it is a new shirt, too.
C: (emphatically) It is BRAND NEW! This is my first time to wear it.
J: I know, the tag is still on it.
Chip looks down to find the size sticker on his pocket. Needless to say, his level of embarrassment was hightened at this point. But, I must say, it seemed to be an ice breaker and bonding moment for us all.
