Today I discovered that if one must throw up in public, Costco is the best place to do so because:
1. Wide aisles allow other shoppers to avoid the mess, even if the mess is in the middle of the walkway;
2. Sample-giving employees are stocked with paper towels;
3. The normally annoying ride-on squeegee floor-cleaner (or indoor street sweeper, as Victor calls it) is likely to be close by and can clean up the mess in a jiffy without being summoned;
4. General noise masks your child's whimpering as you race around gathering your foodstuffs.
I also discovered that when Zeke repeatedly complains that his head hurts, he could mean that his stomach hurts.
For the first three things on your list I thought you were referring to yourself. I'm glad it wasn't you who vomited in public.
ReplyDeletei thought it was you too. my son had an emergency potty incident at costco, so i feel your pain.
ReplyDeletemy daughter threw up at Costco once...but with her babysitter. glad to know that as places go, it's not a bad one. So sorry that he was sick!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry! Celeste peed all over the floor once in Harris Teeter...during a mystery shop, if I remember right. Can't remember if I mentioned that before. It was seriously embarrassing!
