Last night Duff came down with a case of the stomach flu. Duff was attacked and the collateral damage appeared all over my bathroom. At his age I would have expected more accuracy in his delivery, but I guess when the moment strikes there are not points for neatness.
I could hear my husband from the bedroom weakly asking, “Did somebody get sick?” Of course he knew someone was sick. Playing dumb didn’t fool me. I know he didn’t want to get in on any of the clean up action.
OH MY GOD!!! I didn’t realize that I was going to need a HazMat suit to clean up the aftermath. Reluctantly I gloved up and entered the room. I reached for the Clorox Wipes and started in. I think I went through half the container taking breaks to control my own stomach and adding to the mess.
Moms deserve some kind of combat pay or at least roses once in awhile from husbands who pretend to sleep when the nasty stuff comes out.
Signing off to go to the nearest WAllY World to stock up on more Clorox wipes for the barrage messes that will occur when the rest of the family gets to share in the joy of the Stomach Flu.
