Well, before this gets a little carried away,
Let's let everyone in on our little secret...

It turns out that Magnus and I both as our very first "jobs" were each
the child Actors in Diaper Commercials!

(what are the odds of that eh??
any other DIY fans in Diaper commercials out there?  :)

I was only 9-months old when I got my social security card,
and the television Director was was a real comedian, he looked at me
and said something like "Some Actor, She hasn't had a job in nine-months!"

barump... bump... crash!   LOL!

All the Best!
