Puke List

Guy is not feeling well today. He tossed his cookies in bed this morning, and trying to help him feel like a good boy I told him he did a valiant job trying to contain it. He pondered and quickly came up with a list of Easiest to Hardest places to clean up vomit:

1. Toilet
2. Trash can
3. Bath Tub
4. Linoleum floor
5. Tile floor
6. A blanket
7. Bed (Assuming the waterproof mattress cover is always there)
8. Carpet
9. Automobile
10. Drapery, sofa, small toys

Yes, every kid should know this list and try to hit number 1 next time instead of number 7. And every parent should remember to put the stinkin' mattress cover on when making the bed!

Hey Marci Metcalf-Ruf: looks like he did not put "shoes" on the list. Again, still sorry about the time I threw up in yours!

Hi Gina! I was just perusing your blog after finding you on facebook...wow what a family! I just had my first daughter 5 mos ago and am learning a lot from these pages...
Anyway on to my relevant comment for this post. I have one to top even #10. When I was little I had a high bed (about 5 ft off the ground) and got sick one night, leaned over the edge, and splattered pretty much the entire room. I remember in good faith choosing that option because I wanted to avoid throwing up on the bed! (It had no mattress cover, you see.)
