Exhausted Mummy turns in early, with dreams of a good nights sleep. She begins to relax as she listens to the sound of her baby’s breathing next to her. Just as she’s falling asleep she hears a noise and her eyes pop open.
There it is again.
She sits up and looks at her son. Vomit all over The Boy, all over The Mum and all over The Bed. And there’s more coming! She’s never seen anything quite like it.
While Mummy puts The Boy in the bath, Daddy remakes the bed. The Boy is so cute, doing his little “I get to stay up after midnight” dance, while Mummy and Daddy frantically work to remove all trace of Dinner Revisited from the house and their memories.
The Boy already forgotten what all the fuss is about, and wants to play.
And as Mummy cleans the leavings off the sheets and baby clothes, she thanks God that Asian bathrooms have high powered squirt hoses as standard equipment.
That very scene has happened many times in our lives. One time it happened in three beds in the middle of the night before a move and we had to do all the linens and other laundry and disinfect a mattress. We were very tired when driving the next day.
oh my goodness – i was just talking about southeast asian washrooms and the exact point you just made. too funny!
Lisa, I am sure I will experience this joy many, many more times… I just hope it's never the night before we travel or move.
Michelle, yes, 'butt squirters' are an amazing invention. Why we don't have them in Australia or USA I will never know.
We only ever had the vomit monster visit us once during our boys younger years. Once was enough. Trying to get it out of the carpet and off the walls was not an experience I ever want to repeat.
