Diapers

Do you have a baby at your house? Does he or she wear diapers? Can you throw them away?

In 1950, a mother named Marion had an idea. She did not like the diapers that were made out of cloth. They were too much work. They smelled bad. It took too much time to clean them. She wanted to make something better. Marion went to work. She tried making them out of many kinds of things. Marion made them out of plastic. She tried to sell the idea. No one said it would work. They said it would flop. They did not want to try her idea.

Marion was sure it would work. She sold them all by herself. Mothers loved her idea.

Marion made moms all over the world happy. They had more time for their babies. They had less mess to clean up. They did not have to wash diapers or let them dry. All they needed was a trashcan.

She was sure her idea was going to work. She was right!
