There I was, crouching in the back seat of my not-yet-year-old car, scrubbing the vomit off the upholstery when I began to get very philosophical.
Lessons from a very gross encounter:
1. Always carry a bucket in the car.
2. Always say yes when the new car salesperson wants you to scotch-guard your upholstery.
3. When children express the need to throw up. Go home immediately. Do not wait.
4. Before cleaning a really gross mess, sometimes it's okay to go to book group, have a good night's sleep and eat breakfast. It gives a lot of important distance from the trauma.
5. It's okay to invite your visiting teacher over to watch your kids while you do the deed. (Thank you!!!!)
I hope to never need to apply these life lessons again. Ever.
First :-( and then LOL! Way to make something really really nasty into something funny for the rest of us. Hope it never ever happens to you ever again.
ReplyDeletebrilliant first post!
ReplyDeleteI love that you went philosophical mid-cleanup. As the saying goes, hindsight is always 20/20!
ReplyDeleteyuck yuck yuck, and yet it didn't actually gross me out. Yuck is such a part of life with littles, isn't it. Oh yuck. What was your first post going to be?
ReplyDeleteYeah, kids are gross. But they are so darn cute!
