Good'ol Southern California *quakes*
and in my son's bed room. I looked in on him and his friend. Both were asleep so I shut off the light. I turned around to shut off the bathroom light, like any good mother would, to witness the Mother Of All Puke Messes I have ever witnessed in all my adulthood: with puking children.

I stood there blinking thinking no, wishing I was dreaming. I go back into the room and ask who threw up. My son's friend "puke boy" said, "me, I couldn't wake you up." I thought to myself, "I can't see why, but nevertheless, thank you for not puking on me trying."

The entire floor was covered in pizzasodabrowniewater mixture. It was so bad that I think I'll need therapy to get over it. I tell him to come help me for a second. He lays the biggest towel over the ocean of smelly slop and backs out of the bathroom and sits on the hall floor. I realize, being the good mother that I am, that not even he can handle this mess so, I throw more towels over the mess. He holds the bag open as I attempt to put them in.

He farts then farts again and I tell him to go back to bed. He says sorry about the mess on his way back.

The less than pleasant oder fill my lungs and sends a signal to my stomach. I start to sweat. The mess is a foot high on the walls, door, shower curtain and sink cabinet not to mention covering the entire toilet. Charles Manson and that house they did all those crimes in flashed through my head as I began to spray and wipe.

"Puke boy" must have aimed at the toilet but the lid was down. Of all the cotton picken times my son decides to follow my instructions. He's gonna get it for that! And the hot stream of goop must have hit that and sprayed. I can tell that he must have lifted the lid while he was taking his next breath, preparing for the next flow of hot liquid to shoot out because the rest of the toilet and back of the toilet wall got it next. Then he must have lifted the seat and blew chunks on the rim. I saw the toilet water, there was next to nothing floating in it, but being the good mother that I am I flushed anyway.

I took me 35 minutes to clean it up. I used my handy, dandy blue glove so I wouldn't get any on me...the left one, because my right one was gone. I'm right handed.

Now that my stomach contents have settled and I've stopped sweating I think I'll go back to bed.

If anybody says any remark feeling sorry for "Puke boy" I'm sending you the very large bag of towels that are waiting to be cleaned.

I'm having flash backs already...

night

Something similar happened to me the last time I had food poisoning. What a glorious day, everywhere it went! The only humor I had that day was watching everyone else clean it up.

You're a good mother indeed.

OMG I woulda called the childs mother and made her clean it...lol just kidding, but really...kudos to you cause I woulda died. Picking up your own kids puke is one thing...but someone elses, naw, non-family puke, I cant handle. By the way...if I were you, I'd just toss the bag of pukey towells....we'll start a fund for you here to buy you some new ones for your courage and strength, you deserve it!

Ugh. My sympathies go out to you Terri. That is, by far, the worst puke story I've ever heard. That's saying a lot considering the fact that I used to be a regular on both University of Florida's and University of Central Florida' s party circuits (though I never attended either school). You can tell "Puke Boy" that he has managed to be more disgusting then drunken college students, and that's hard to do! He's got a bright future ahead of him! ;)

ETA: What is it about family's bodily fluid that makes it more acceptable to handle than other people's? I wasn't aware that DNA was a qualifier for grossosity(New Word Alert!).

I'm a sympathy puker, particularly when it doesn't come from my kids. One whiff and I'm doubled over. I'd have added to the mess for sure.

I'm not sure about the "family Fluid" thing...maybe its just the motherly instinct, cause my husband cant deal with the kids puke lol It's a natural...tollerance? lol I dont know, but its easier to be "your own" lol

My sympathies Terri.

Before I had kids, the thought of vomit would trigger my gag reflex. Now two kids and two dogs later, I may not have abs of steel, but my constitution is cast iron. Although I must confess, it was sorely tested the time my dog threw up a long defunct, entirely whole, dead rat beside me in the car.

Terri, wanted to share this with you...It's a poop story. On my daughters 1st baysitting job( 4 houses down) she is watching an infant and a toddler! I get a frantic phone call from her and all I can make out is "throw -up" "sick", "come quick!" I go running down there , frantic... I think one of the babies is sick. She ushers me upstairs and points me towards a naked baby and a pile of puke. The baby pooped (watery) yuck! And when she went to change the diaper she (daughter)threw up on the beautiful white carpet.... Of course she quickly escorted me to the door once I cleaned up the baby and her mess. What are moms for!;) kimmi

I had food poisioning weekend before last. (*cough*outback coconut shrimp*cough*) Noone cleaned up after me. I got to lay on the bathroom floor with a bottle of Clorox Cleanup in one hand.

The night before my wedding, I got so drunk that, though I made it to the bathroom AND the toilet, I was unable to get the lid up in time. There was red stuff everywhere. Even in my drunken stupor, I managed to clean the whole mess up, and no one was the wiser.

Ack! Now I'm sweating. When the kids were little and threw up at night I usually got hubby to take the puking kid while I stripped he sheets. For some reason I could only handle daytime puking. At night it made me want to pass out.

In your situation, Terri, I probably would have moved to another city before dawn.

Lol at these stories! I have another one.

Once when I was young and foolish, my boyfriend and I went to a party not far from my parents house that was serving drinks called "upside downers" whereby the drinker placed the back of their head on the bar and the "bartender" just poured shots into their mouth.These were concocted by the party giver I think in part, because he didn't want to wash glasses. Anyway I decided they were disgusting, but my boyfriend enjoyed them very much, so much so that when we meandered our way to my house, he paused at the lawn and divested himself of not only all the alcohol he had drunk, but of everything he had ingested within the last six months, plus his shoes. Oh. My. God. I was absolutely horrified by the mess on my dad's perfectly manicured lawn and desperate to clean it up before morning so that my parents didn't know that I had gone to a party where alcohol was served. Since it was about 2 in the am. I very quietly let myself into the house and boiled up a big kettle of water, which I then poured all over the pile of vomit in a large circle, making sure than "everything" was gone, then after congratulating myself on a job well done, I went to bed.

I awoke the next morning to see my dad staring out the window at this large, perfectly round, perfectly dead spot on his hitherto pristine lawn, with an extremely perplexed look on his face. He and my mother discussed at length, the possible causes of such a catastrophic (and quick) die off. Various reasons such as alien landings, crop circles and the neighbours Great Dane were quickly discarded in favour of the more mundane - grass borer beetles. When the stores opened, my dad dashed out and armed himself with an arsenal of pesticides and doused his lawn liberally - all blessed summer - to absolutely no avail. Every time he looked at his lawn he would mutter and curse the fates that had handed him with such a terrible and apparently unfixable problem. He decided eventually that he had to dig up the spot and replace it when brand new sod. This was a fine idea and the new sod grew excellently - coming up lush and green. The only problem was that it was a different variety of grass so that it's colour was a lighter green - which stood out like a beacon of reproach to the gardener who couldn't get a handle on grass borer beetles. They eventually sold the house, sighting the reason that it no longer suited their needs, but I know better. I've felt guilty ever since.

:ROFL: Kikazaru, that story is priceless. My father also has a pristine lawn and I can just imagine his perplexity in such a situation.

OMG Terri.... O.M.G. UGH.

You need a shopvac. Wet dry so you can just suck the stuff up and then hose out the shopvac. *shudder*

Ugh.
