How's Your Gag Reflex?

Which situation would make you gag the quickest?

1. While you are holding your 17-month old son, he throws up his breakfast of milk and banana nut bread because he so constipated from not having a BM in 3 days.

(There's no where else for the food to go - poor little guy!)

2. Having returned from cleaning said 17-month old, you discover that your golden retriever has eaten all the throw-up off the floor . . . and then looks at you as if she's hoping you'll give her some more!

(That dog is just wrong!)

3. Looking over and noticing that your 17-month old's inevitable diaper explosion is now oozing down his legs.

And before you answer, know that I experienced each one yesterday!

Oh, by the way, here's a great parenting tip: If your child is backed up and you don't have any prune juice around - try grape juice instead.

Believe me! It works just as well!

(But don't worry, Audra! You'll love being a parent!)

Hey Preacherman,

Thanks so much for stopping by - it seems like I've been reading your comments on other blogs for a while now so I'm glad that we've officially been web-troduced to each other!

Have a great week!

It probably works with seniors as well.

I just emailed my PhD to Wales, for final review.

1) okay, I see the gross in that
2) maybe you should have given the dog a big treat for cleaning up so that you did not need to do it
3) why didn't you try the dog a second time ;-) ?

Oh it sure is amazing how numb I've becoming to incidents of this sort. LOL! Ahhh, the joys of parenting! ;o)

Wade, came across your blog from me telling Kendra about our conversation at church the other night. Stay in contact and I'll be glad to help.

With respect to your question, #3 about does it for me. As a father of 3 boys, this one is hard to handle even after the 10th or 11th time it happens. Nothing worse.

Thanks for spoiling my late night snack!! I'll check back to your blog anytime I feel the urge to haul back on some Blue Bell myself! :)

I'll tell you why I didn't force Macy to clean every up: If the dog does it her own, every says, "That's just what dogs do!" But if I tell her to clean it up then PETA comes out and accuses me of unethical treament of animals!

Stinkin' PETA!

Hey Linda,

There's no way anyone can become numb to the smell of regurgitated milk!

That stuff is just nasty!

Hey Donny,

Thanks for the comment. Call me the pessimist but, like I told Linda above, I don't know how anyone can get used to this stuff.

It's a good thing I'm madly in love with that little guy or else he would have been spraying himself off with a hose in the backyard by himself!

Hey Josh,

I don't blame you. Although it would sound funny if put it down as a bullet point on your resume that you were.

- Can effectively manage baby puke.

I think I'm gonna post a bogus resume on Monster.com with that line in it just to see if I get any responses!

Thanks all for stopping by,

Hm, I'm going to have to go with the leaky diarrhea. I'm one of those nurses who tolerates GI bleeds, vomit, spit, etc without a problem; however, I hate diarrhea...especially when it oozes! Thanks for the encouragement though! :)
