Mommy! Come here!
This time of night, coming from my eleven year old, I knew this couldn't be good. Sure enough, he had projectile vomited on his bedroom floor.

Why don't they ever call Daddy for this??????

1. When that happened to me I
called Daddy because I was likely to follow with my own addition to the mess. I do not do vomit.

3. Neither does Daddy
He was complaining about the smell all the way down the hall. Thankfully, my sinuses are angry (when aren't they?) and I couldn't smell it. Then, he sprayed Lysol and Oust so thick I could taste them. Now I'm about to toss my cookies from that!

5. Yikes!
I used to be a nurse and I would trade anything for someone to come take care of my patient if they were vomiting. I worked in the ICU so the stuff I used to have to trade for was rather unpleasant but ANYTHING was better than vomit.

Man, hang in there. I used to sleep with my kids when they were sick so we would put two buckets beside the bed.

2. They save up the puke for you.
My ten year old told me today "I think I'm Pagan. Where do you sign up?"

I nearly blew Diet Coke through my nose.

That UU church we're going to is putting strange "I can think for myself" vibes in her.

Oh sorry, I totally changed the subject didn't I?

Yes, puke, lovely. At least he hadn't JUST eaten a burger and fries right? <----experience with that

4. No, he had not just eaten
I think it was a case of too many Easter cookies. He doesn't get sugar normally...only on special days.

The worst I can think of was when he was four and my daughter was two. They were both spewing from both ends simultaneously...He had eaten a peanut butter sandwich and oatmeal...Makes for really thick puke.

7. One of my sons blew
cookies and candy all over the Air Museum in Seattle. I grabbed his cap off his head as we ran to the bathroom and we discarded it when he was done. He later nailed the Space Needle restaurant. Man that was some trip.

8. You're welcome!
I cleaned up the mess, and he's sleeping. Thank goodness we have a carpet cleaner that sucks up that yuck!

9. reason why they don't call for daddy is.....
they know daddy might just call for mommy

remember the scene in parenthood with steve martin? his kid was looking sick and he asks: "Do you want to throw up?" and the kid says: "okay" and :puke:s. enter the wife who makes a comment or asks what is going on or why isn't he cleaning up and he says he's waiting for the kid's head to spin around (like from the exorcist)
