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.
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!

And one time (5 years ago) the door got opened too quickly and hit my daughter in the head. 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!

Well maybe not the church carpet, but something almost as sacred...
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.
Ever try cleaning up the mess that a dog makes when they get sick in the car?
I can't imagine a kid being any worse......
Your imagination isn't very good then. Both my boys have thrown up in my brand new 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer, much to mommy's disgust. And no, being a peds nurse doesn't make it any easier.
When my oldest was just a tiny baby, I took her to the nursery to give my sweet wife a break. As I rocked her, she passed what I though was a little gas, and I was holding her up and talking baby talk to her about what little noises she was making. Two women that where there with kids were chuckling and I the proud father thought they must think what a great dad I am. They were laughing because it was not gas and what it was had run out of the diaper and all down the front of my suit......
I learn to put the diaper on tighter!
