Although, they probably put out less liquid than a wrung out 'Shamwow' - so maybe there isn't much danger.

I was mostly worried at the end that his fur was caught between the keys!

That "cracked" me up LVP... Sometimes, we're just not fast enough to cover up the pee pee. Or, forget! I watched a video via a forward in emails that showed dads gagging like crazy changing babies diapers. They came up with a ton of ideas from masks to gas masks to even something similar to an astronauts outfit and they still all gagged like crazy. It was hiliarious!

Man, I guess being the oldest of seven has it's perks! We always just threw a cloth diaper over their bellies and pulled it down quick so that they wouldn't get us in the eye! There was always something waiting on the changing table...we also had a day care in my house, so we all got lots of practice... But I suppose that sort of preparedness can only come from 'getting it wrong' enough times that you are never going to forget! Ha!

I will also, however, not get used to the puke. My theory is that one gets used to diapers, but you actually become more horrified with each stomach flu that you have to nurse. Ugh.

Have you seen this one? Huggies 'Geyser' Ad

BTW, hope you all don't mind me crashing your thread! Couldn't resist, had me laughing too much!

You're very welcome here LVP, glad to see you posting too.

Here's a funny story for you... Puke makes me gag. The smell of it, watching it, hearing it even. Well, my oldest son Jerry Jr, was about 5 or 6 and he had the flu. His bedroom was on the other side of the house from where the toilet was in our other house. After a bit, he had filled the puke pan up about half way. I said to my wife, I'll go and get it this time thinking to myself, oh, I'm the man, I can do this! Also thinking, I HOPE I CAN DO THIS, I DON'T KNOW! Well, I grabbed the plastic wash basin that he filled and started walking across the house with it. All I could hear was "SLOSH, SLOSH, SLOSH, SLOSH, SLOSH" as it was, sloshing back and forth in the pan. I sat it down about half way through the house and made a bee line for the bathroom. That's all I could stand and I can't stands no more!!!!

Just the sound of it started making me gag my brains out!!!

Oh man, I am so glad that I don't have kids yet. Dog puke is bad enough, and there is a wet/dry vac for that.... if it makes you feel better, my husband is the same. I hate the puke, but he literally gets sick himself if he has to clean it up. Yeah!!! I get to clean puke up forever!!! Your wife and I should start a club, no, support group. 'Wives of those with insanely sensitive gag reflexes' WOTWISGR of course, for short.

(gag induction alert!) My friends husband has more than once 'caught' his toddlers puke in his hands....AHHHHHHHHH! Not me. That man is a saint in my opinion. Can you freaking imagine? His wife tells this story with such pride. I can see why, certainly cuts down on work for her. She does not get to join WOTWISGR.

You can see my jealousy, no?

Yes, I do see your jealousy alright. What is this guy NUTS? Catching it in his hands? Baby puke is one thing. I mean, a baby that is only a couple months old or so. It doesn't smell YET. I say, YET!! But, it will! Older kid or people puke is quite another matter indeed.

That sort of thing doesn't bother my wife one bit. She can clean it up like nobody's business. Off the wall, the floors, bedding (getting a visual Howie? hehehe)whereever it lands. Well, she can have that job and keep it too! I don't want it. I won't do it. I don't want to be around it. 250 feet away is close enough. No, I take that back. I can still hear it. Make that 1,000 feet away.

Man, just thinking about this is churning my tummy!!!

But, you couldn't help reading it anyway eh Howie???? LOL!!!

Oh, don't be fooled by her stoicism. I am sure it grosses her right out, but leaving it is grosser, so off we go, armed to the teeth with cleaning supplies.

Be good in this life or you'll reincarnate as a WOTWISGR member :P

hah!

I ran away to hide to I wouldn't have to see puke pictures! Actually, we went north to the cottages again for the weekend. Left Friday. Stayed until late last night coming home at around 11:30 PM. The weather was picture perfect! We floated on the boat all day long yesterday and half of the day before hopping in the lake when we got hot.

I think, in that picture number 4... If that wolf or whatever it is, slips down just a few inches, a certain body part may be in some serious danger!!!
