What's Grosser Than Gross?

I use to think it was the one time when Emma was just a few months old and I was changing her diaper. That was the time when I pulled her legs up to put on a fresh covering that she shat right before my eyes. It was like a Play-Doh pump toy or a water pump. That was pretty "disdusting" as Emma would say now.

But last night I was reminded that child vomit is truly grosser than gross. Ellie helped to jog my memory. The reason why it is the number one on the gross scale is because I am now on my third load of laundry because of her sudden stomach bug. We had to wash countless blankets, three sets of pajamas, two washcloths, a mattress cover, the baby bumper, some towels, and both my and Abbie's clothes. The round that was grossest is a close tie - the initial spew where everything was everywhere and I was choking back my own dinner at about 10 pm, and the 2 am episode where Abbie had it running down all over her chest. Probably the big one wins though, just for sure volume.

I bet you are really excited that I shared this little bit of knowledge, but what can I say, I have had a dry spell of thoughts online.

Let's just say that this is my reminder to everyone to Wash Your Hands, all the time.
