Apr. 30, 2008 - See Mom Retch
Well, we have reached new heights of disgustingness in our house.
Gebre made a wonderful big "stink" in the potty this morning. A really stinky "stink". You can already see which road this story is heading down, I'm sure. Now, I did immediately dump and wipe down the potty, responsible mother that I am, but I missed something.
A few minutes later, I notice Biruk is messing with something, and then he puts it in his mouth. I turn to put down what I'm doing so I can go make sure he's not going to choke on anything. Then, I notice a smell. That smell. Where is it coming from? Did I miss some on the potty? I look around. I notice a little pebble of poo on the floor by Biruk. Reality is beating on the door but I'm not willing to let it in yet. I look a little farther and notice some smudges on Biruks pants. And his shirt. And that smell. He grins up at me.
Oh. No.
Please no!
He has poop in his mouth!
Then I notice the rag that Gebre had been using as a hankie. Apparently he tried to clean his potty before I got there, but didn't think to let me know. Biruk found the rag. Biruk decided to chew on it.
Biruk has poop in his mouth.
Frantic changing and hand washing and checking for more stray pieces of waste ensues. And then more hand washing and an attempt to wash out Biruk's mouth. I spray disinfectent on everybody's fingers. But the smell lingers. I call my dad and he chuckles and says not to worry. I ask about Listerine, but later decide not to try that on Biruk. Eventually, I wet a rag with straight vinegar and rub it around the inside of Biruk's mouth. Hopefully that's good enough. I try to forget that he had poop in his mouth. In his mouth! I'm going to have to nurse him eventually. Blech.
Like I said: New heights of disgustingness.

oh snap. Yuck Mama. That's happened at our house, both with human poop and cat poop.
I'd close with my normal 'Eat a piece of chocolate, that'll help'...but somehow, I don't think that's the right suggestion =P

No breakfast for me this morning. It's okay. I don't need to eat anyway. :)
I will thank you, though. No matter what my kids decide to do today, I can just think of your horrible experience and be thankful it isn't that. It's hard being a Mama sometimes, huh?

Um....my children have held cat poop. And one time, I fished a cat SCAB out of the toddler's mouth. I'm still retching over that...11 years later!
The cat is now an outside cat.

Eew, ew, ew!!! I know you had to share that, that is too mcuh if you do not share, but oh my, the thought makes me ....ick!
I hope the vinegar did a good job! My sister at one time we found her dipping her toothbrush in the toilet and brushing away....we chose to forget to look if it was flushed or not!
