Prompted to do this by the amazingly funny sweetcorn river thread.
When ds was 18 months he could vomit for Britain. At the time out car's boot had lost its counterballence so that it wouldn't stay up on its own but had to be held up. Both these facts are central to my little tale.
We were on the way south on the A1 and turned off just after Stamford. Ds started to make sicky noises so I yelled for dh to stop, but too late! Ds was covered, his car seat was covered, the back of my car seat was covered. It was pissing with rain and blowing a small gale.
We lept into action, a well drilled team. DH started to strip down ds while I went to the boot to get a complete change of clothes, towels, wet wipes. The wind was lashing the rain, and I had to do all of this while holding a very heavy boot with one hand, all the time dh shouting, 'Where is the towel?' and me yelling 'I don't know' in ever more frenzied tones. At this point dd decided that she wasn't getting enough attention and started to cry that the smell was making her sick too.
I rifled through my bag, located the things I needed, spilling most of the contents while I did it, and thankfuly let the boot drop. I turned bach to the job of helping dh clear up, which took some time. Whe ds was clean and sitting in his stripped down car seat in a towel I turned back to the boot to put the dirty items in a plastic bag.
Only to find that the back of the boot was covered in foam! It looked like the boot had rabies. And more and more of the stuff was billowing out! When I droped the boot it fell on by Virgin Vie Peppermint foot fizz and chopped it in half! Boot was now full of foam. car then stank of vomit and peppermint. Yummy!
And the question is this, why did no-one warn me that my life would get like this once I had kids?
