Welcome!

I'm often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

Tales of Dog Vomit

Overheard:
7 Year old SweetGirl talking to Black Lab Shadow in her best Sing Song Mommy Voice.

You had a choice...you choose to eat the rabbit poop. Now you have to live with that choice. You have decided that you don't get to play outside, you must come in. Okay?

Then whispers....
Mommy and Daddy will NOT be happy if they have to clean up your puke again. Okay baby. Bye Bye.


Good Grief! Is that really how I sound?

PS Credit where credit is due.

A wonderful tall dark and handsome fairy with a nasty gag reflex came to my house last night. He bravely did what no parent wants to do...he cleaned up the atrocious pile of dog vomit in the laundry room. THANK YOU Dog Vomit Cleaning Fairy!

That is great that the vomit fairy cleaned up after your dog.
My pets only throw up when I'm home alone w/them and the fairies are busy. Sigh.

Karen said...

Hmm...how does one get in touch with this Vomit Cleaning Fairy of yours? Might have to call him after my next big night of drinking.

Your little girl will make an amazing Mommy one day with that kind of logic. I wonder where she learned it from??? hmmmm. :)
Vomit cleaning fairy? I need one of those too, for he would be busy at my house.

I surely do need the Dog Vomit Cleaning Fairy here, and fast!!

Susan said...

That is too funny. I remember how my dog is college would give us the prep show before vomiting. YUCK!!!

Of course you can join in 10lbs in 28 days, you can actually lose quite a bit of weight just counting calories. Thanks for playing, I will put up a post next week to see how everyone is doing.

That totally made me laugh. My dog Sam vomits, too, when he eats grass outside. Not a very smart choice, if you ask me. Can you send that fairy with the gag reflex over to my house? Sam's outside now, and he's been out there a while - that's never a good sign.

PS - I'm a total fan of your blog! It always makes me smile. I'm going to try to email you an official fan to commemorate how much I enjoy your blog! :)

This is the one fairy who definitely needs to be thanked. My gag reflex is going just thinking about "it". Happy weekend! Have you not bought anything lately? If so (or if not so), come tell me about it :)

kimert said...

I hate vomit too!! Eeewwwww.

Maternal Tales said...

Does the vomit fairy want to come and clean up in our house? We have a cat who likes to eat grass and leaves little vomitty presents all over and two children who often bring home stomach bugs from nursery and school. Not sure which vomit is worse.!!

lunarossa said...

Wow, so many useful and kind fairies....Can you send a couple my way please? I could really do with them! Thanks for visiting my blog. Ciao. A.

Margo said...

Haha... Can I borrow your vomit fairy? After the dog finishes eating rabbit poop, of course. And he is tall, dark, and handsome to boot? Where did you find him? :)
