Do You Change Diapers, O Man?

Several colleagues were laughing about a YouTube video making the rounds that shows men gagging and gasping for air as they tried to change a baby's diaper -- one in a hazmat suit. Before we had our two kids, I'd only changed one diaper in my life -- my brother Frito Ray's, upon my father's orders. Dad, another brother, and I had been left alone with Baby Ray. Who had been crying for some time because he needed to be changed. So I was volunteered for the honor. And remember gagging and barely able to follow through with the assignment. However, my kids were raised wearing disposable diapers. I had no trouble changing them/Huckleberries Online.

Question (for men): Do/did you change your kids' diapers?
