I have had nearly every experience listed here but the funniest one actually happened to my ex-husband.

When my five year old was in diapers, I used to leave a plastic baggie full of extra diapers and an extra set of clothes in one of those cube mesh containers from the Container store in the trunk of my car at all times. That really helped. In case of emergency, I could always make a quick change on the inside of the trunk of my spacious SUV.
