Holy upchuck Batman, I hate puke

I cannot stop laughing about that....

Being a grown-up means being responsible for the consequences of your choices. No blaming, no excuses, no victimhood, no martyrdom.

I like this answer!

Ditto - I think I'll pin this to my DH's head next time I'll see him.

being an adult means I am the one who has to clean up the puke when the kids get sick.

......putting on slacks , a dress shirt and tie to go to the office.......

When you know I want to be wearing sandals, surf shorts and a big concert t-shirt. Preferably someplace warm with rides

Not stalking characters.

Oh no you didn't!

...knowing when to run my mouth and when not to. Sometimes I just want to let it all hang out and really really tell people what they DON'T want to hear. I have perfected walking away.

Oh no! I would do the juvenile thing and toss it all.

However as an adult it's my job to clean up the cat puke.

Yep, I'm in charge of all things gross and pertaining to bodily fluids in this house. I didn't save much, just keys, screwdrivers,etc. If the CATS in the house were doing their job, I wouldn't have had to do this at all.

btw, I love your red tabby! My calico has red tabby markings on her cheek.

cleaning puke when your kid gets it on every surface in the hallway.

Being an adult means.....cleaning up the puke. Holy upchuck Batman, I hate puke.

I second that!

Being an adult means being the one who cleans up the child, the bed, and the floor (and yes, the walls and the door...) in the middle of the night when they come to you. Before having kids, I said that I could never clean up barf. Not only can I do it without (usually) throwing up myself, but I can sit with that sick child as they are puking into the toilet and then continue to keep them company, rubbing their back, as they have collapsed on the floor, too sick to even make it back to their bed. Is this a highlight of parenthood? Heck no! But you've got to take the bitter with the sweet so you know how good the great times are!
