If you've ever... cleaned your child's vomit off the church carpet or pews,
Raise your hands and say Amen.
AMEN
Needless to say, we're home early.
Not just my child's but...
One thing that bugged me was this "charismatic" teaching that went around some ethnic groups that said when the "devil" came out of someone they would literally vomit the devil out. Good thing we had this big rug cleaner.
Never off the church's carpet or pews. But we did send Keith to VBS when he was 4. He went with our neighbor to her church (the same church that is now our church!). Anyhow, at the very end they gave him a cookie. Nobody had checked ingredients. So he ate the PEANUT BUTTER cookie, spit it out at the first bite, they put him in the car and brought him immediately home and by the time they got here, he was gasping for air. It took 4 Epi pins and 7 hours in the ER to get him back!
I would take puke any day, over an allergic reaction! You must have been terrified.

She started to pass out and I grabbed her, the pastors wife came up and asked if Kari was ok, I said, "I think so", as kari proceeded to pee on my arms and the floor. I was so embarassed, it was right in the foyer!
Poor Kari!!! Hit by a door and peeing yourself, what a combo.

I was holding my daughter who at the time was about 7mos, while my wife shopped for shoes at DSW. It was during the winter and I was wearing my BRAND NEW Satin Colorado Rockies Starter jacket, I paid almost $150 for.
The minute I took her into my arms, she painted the front of the jacket with a combination of stuff a 7mo old kid eats.
It was one of the first times I had to compare values. I love that little girl so it didnt really matter.
A sign from above. GO RED SOX!

I'm sorry you missed out on the blessing. One lady told me after that she heard the sound of my baby throwing up 5 seats ahead in the next section.

Now, I do feel bad about that...

I learn to put the diaper on tighter!
I enjoy these stories most when it happens to men. (for some reason )

I've heard that teaching... a few times.
Messy stuff.
(pardon the pun)

Now, my daughter has good sense and hasn't yet thrown up in mommy's car.
And yeah, it's funnier when it's daddy they puke on. I left our first child with my husband to go to the store one day. I was gone an hour. When I got home, I noticed that baby's diaper looked odd. When I went to change him, I discovered why. My husband put the diaper on backwards. I laughed so hard he never changed a diaper again.

Oh yes, I made that mistake with my first baby.
I got home and I heard my husband making noises upstairs. I went up and looked into the bathroom to see him with two tissues stuck, one up each nostril... trying to change a dirty diaper. He was gagging... trying to cover his nose (stuffed with kleenex already) with his shirt... saying.. "I just can't do this... I can't do this"
I laughed to kill myself. He never changed any diapers for a good year after that. And to this day, will only change a wet one. If they dirty while I'm gone, they have to sit it. Poor things.
