Dolly Parton changed my diaper. When Dollywood (her theme park) had just opened, she spent a day at the park signing autographs. My mom stood in line, noticeably overwhelmed and struggling with me and my sister.
Dolly stopped what she was doing, grabbed me from my mom, and said, “It’s ok, Momma, these lil’ munchkins are a handful.” She then asked my mom if she needed help with my diaper, and changed it for her.
