You Have to Laugh, So You Don't Cry

Voice from the back seat: "Moooooom, I just puked." Okay, I'm prepared for this.

"It's okay, it's okay, just grab the towel on Nemo's lap and wipe it up, honey."

"I can't!"

"Why not?"

"I'm still belted in with my seat belt."

"Oh, well, then, go ahead and unbuckle and grab the towel."

"But I just puked." Sigh. Exasperated, I unbuckle, jump out of my seat, open the back, climb in (have I mentioned I'm short? It is a climb), grab the towel, tuck it around Little Man, half-heartedly wipe at the blessedly small amount of puke in his lap, climb back out, get in the front, buckle up.

"If you have to puke again, just try to get it on the towel, okay?"

"Okay, Mom." Pause. "Mom? Can I have my pancakes now?"

Headline in my Babycenter weekly newsletter thingy: "10 household poisons to hide from your toddler." Um, you mean there are poisons out there I shouldn't hide from my toddler? Really?
