You Know You’re a Parent When…

By: Mr. Wilson on February 13, 2009
... You calmly sit by while your child vomits onto his dinner plate, telling him to "get it all out" and "don't worry about the mess". Sheesh. And yes, he's fine. He was fine five minutes later, in fact, after he had a quick bath and brushed his teeth. What can I say? Sometimes you just need to puke.

Thanks for that wonderful morning visual.

I think I knew I was a parent when I cupped my hands and tried to catch what my daughter was hurling up. Yikes.

Poor guy.  You guys are awesome parents.  Why is a vomit story adorable to me??

A few months ago we were visiting friends in Austin, Texas, and were eating dinner at a Mexican restuarant. My five-year-old daughter didn’t want to finish her milk, so my wife’s friend’s husband started razzing her and dared her to chug it, which she did. She came and sat on my lap, and a few minutes later started coughing a little bit. I looked down at her and just knew she didn’t look right. All of a sudden, out came the chocolate milk along with the corn dog and fries she had just eaten. Miraculously, my clothes were vomit-free, even though my hands and arms were covered. After getting cleaned up in the bathroom, my daughter was good for the rest of the night.
