So, even more amazing was a similar situation several months ago with our little princess. It was church time. We all arrived with our not so up-to-par family and sat in the token back row seat (less distraction for the rest of the members when Chase runs around waving to everyone). We sat on the bench near an exit in case we needed a quick escape to start the beatings for irreverence ( I'm joking here...okay, when am I ever really serious?). While Emma was resting her head on Debbie's lap, regurgitated breakfast came up and out like a curdled milk fountain. Amazingly enough, there was minimal collateral damage. I don't quite know how she did it, but covered from chest to bottom of skirt, Debbie was a putrid mess. Incognito, we whisked Emma away and into the bathroom for clean up. Virtually unscathed, I came back out to a battle brazened yet smiling wife. How does she do it? After I tucked Emma in the car and sent them home, I returned to clean up the mess with chemicals found in the janitor's closet. Since the clean up was minimal, no one in the congregation noticed any part of the ordeal. No one even knew Emma was sick. Yeah, Debbie is that sneaky.
Okay so Deb had to remind me, I forgot to mention the original story. We were getting ready for my medical school graduation. We were eating breakfast with the family at the hotel. Brock had just eaten a good size meal. This was unusual because usually he is the pickiest eater known to man. So, after he downed some cranberry juice, orange juice, yogurt, and some toast, Debbie points out that he hadn't been feeling very well last night or this morning. We were thinking he was on the mend due to his voracious appetite. Well, apparently his mind was willing but his intestinal fortitude was not. And yup. KA-BOOM, mama was covered from head to foot, literally. Her green bag, sandals, skirt, sweater, and hair. And yes, minimal amounts hit the floor. It must ingrained into her DNA somehow.
So I need some help here. I'm trying to come up with her superhero name for Mothers day, and have run into a snag. I can't decide between two names. I'll take a poll, and you can comment.
1. The Human Shield
2. The Barf Magnet Extraordinaire
Kudo's to all you loving mothers out there. I'll wipe bottoms and change diapers with the best of em, but it would freak out if I were the one to receive the brunt of the vomit.

I bet you just had that pictures stored away and just had to find some excuse to use it...you forgot to mention the time that seconds before we walked out for your medical school graduation Brock threw up all over me and the ONE dress I had since we had packed everything away in our house in Oklahoma. I ended up wearing my Mom's dress while she sacrificed going and watched Brock for us. Anyhoo what if I don't prefer either name??
I would go with #1 if you HAD to choose between either one. lol I don't know if I would want BARF MAGNET on my Mother's Day Card. lol I agree. Debbie is AWESOME!
Yeah, if Brian was barfed upon, I would be the one cleaning up two peoples vomit. You guys and your weak stomachs. It is pretty gross though.
How about The Stomach Content Absorber...kinda like a sponge, oooh, how about The Wonder Sponge (there is dramatic music playing in my head)?
Yeah, I love that pumpkin. Next year, we should carve one picking his nose.
Oh, I came up with a good one. The "Puke-inator". You know, cause she terminates puke.
I'm glad you explained the puke-inator...I wouldn't have been able to put two and two together. Ahh, man I'm rude.
Yeah, ya jerk. ;)
