Warning--Gross story ahead

January 21st, 2012 at 11:20 pm

It's two days before the semester begins and I'm cleaning and clearing. I love to start the semester with a clean house and everything ready to roll--but the best mislaid plans...

My dear family always reminds me of when DD was three, and I was completely prepped for the semester. I was on time, ready to take her to childcare, syllabi and first day materials copied and ready to go in the back seat next to her. I was VERY pleased with myself as I;'m not normally that serene. About halfway there, DD says to me, "I think I'm going to burp." Since she rarely announced anything like that, I raised an eyebrow--and 30 seconds later, she vomited all over my course materials and herself. No way could I take her to childcare, the phone was in the back seat too, and I had class beginning in 40 minutes. I drove to DH's office, called him from the lobby, he jumped in the car, and we drove to the university--then he took DD home. I did have to explain the lack of handouts to students whose reaction was similar to the one you're probably having now. But indeed, the worst of the semester was over that first day!

I'm hoping for a calmer one on Tuesday.

    I think a new briefcase or backpak is in order so this doesn't happen again. At least all the handouts would be useable. I hope your DD is much better.

    That was one heck of a burp! Wink Yuck. I think that little story will lead many parents to start recalling their favorite (or least favorite) vomiting child experiences. I have a few, myself.
