No Picture Necessary

Well, we are (still) battling the sick bug around here.

Andy ran in to the bathroom today with diarrhea (again).

(thankfully, I was right behind him)

He pulled his undies off immediately, which only made a huge mess from his tail bone to his toes. Then he stepped in the dirty undies on the floor (with both feet) . Let me tell you, cleaning poop in between toes is pretty gross.

Andy was yelling "POO POO!" over and over again.

Nate came in to see what was going on and said,

"Oh great! Now our house is all messy with poop" and walked out of the room.

A few seconds later he stuck his head back in and said,

"see what I did there mom? I used great in the opposite way".

(rewind) a few months ago Nate was asking what sarcasm is. One of the easiest ways to explain it was: to say one thing when you mean the opposite such as, if mom says we have to go clean up all our toys and he responded "fun!", he obviously would not actually mean it; he would mean the opposite. Therefore being sarcastic.

All three of us just started laughing while I cleaned up and threw them in the tub.

I love being a mom, and I don't mean that in the opposite way.

Tip of the Day

When you can't keep ahead of the laundry because both little boys have the flu and you only have one mattress pad per bed but you do have plenty of sheets, an extra shower curtain under the sheets makes for fan-tastic matress protection.

In other words, we are sick again/still around here.

Typical

This morning I threw Nate in the tub as Chris (sick with the flu) was trying to sleep in our bed with Andy (sick with the flu) who was asleep. I was checking my email in our room when Nate burst in and said,

"mom, I need a towel.

There happens to be a lot of water on the bathroom floor.

I used the whole roll of toilet paper to clean it up but it's still wet"

He wasn't kidding

This is not my actually toilet paper roll. This is from the web. I had to post a picture because if I learned on thing in art school it's that images draw attention more that just plain text. Good thing they told me. I had no idea.

If I was to take a picture it would have been of the HUGE wet wad on the floor.

Awesome.

Unfortunately, we probably have not learned the lesson that toilet paper is incredibly nonabsorbent. Fortunately he has also not learned that if you throw wads of wet toilet paper at something, it usually sticks.

In case you were wondering. There is a website called blog.toiletpaperworld.com. Awesome. For your next costume party, you might consider dressing as a toilet check out examples here. I am sure it would be the talk of the party.

At the bottom of the page it says,

"Wouldn’t it be great if you got toilet paper when trick or treating?"

...seriously?

Calling in sick

Andy's cold has turned in to the flu in the last 24 hours. We'll be back to blogging when Andy is feeling better.
