One Day I'll Laugh

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son on August 24, 2010

Today, I thought I’d do something a little different. Share my life in Tweets. Actually, it’s one particular stream of Tweets. I like to call this “I’ll Laugh About This One Day. Just Not Today.”

And then 1 day after we steam cleaned everything, this:

What is the most disgusting thing your child has ever done? How did you clean it up?

I made the collage using Photoshop. But I imagine you could use any photo editing software. If you’d like more detailed directions, I’d be happy to share, just send me an email.

My youngest son reached down and grabbed his diaper when I was changing him once (he was about 15 mos old) and flung it across the room. It had just been sitting there on the changing table because I was busily wiping his little bum and he was so fast in grabbing it I couldn’t stop him. It, of course, had poop in it so poo went flying. And, an added bonus, it was just like a buttered piece of bread….landed poo side down on the carpet. I think it happened in slow-mo too because I have a vivid picture of me yelling “Nooooooooooo” and trying to catch it in mid-air. Like what was I going to do if I DID catch it? hahaha

And, I am interested in how you did this too. :)

Ewww, ew, ew. I had a similar situation, with a poopy diaper and two curious dogs. Poo all over the carpet.

I made the collage using Photoshop. I’d be happy to share detail instructions if you are interested. Just send me an email.

Okay – first – your blog design – WOW! SO cool and memorable.
This post – EW!! I can not even begin to think how I would respond if my son did that.

Thanks Faith! I just updated the design about a week ago for my 1 year blogging anniversary.

I responded by making my son sit on a chair while I cleaned. The whole time he taunted me “Momma, I’m sitting here watching you clean”.

It’s okay that I’m laughing today, right? ;0 Don’t worry Karma will probably get me…

the grossest thing over here has been poo on the floor. The TILE floor, thank goodness!!

Poo on tile? That’s nothing. Watch out, Karma just might be headed to your house. ;-)

We only laugh because we can sympathize to some degree. And it’s so freaking funny. Sorry. lol. Happy WW! Hope you can clean the carpet and quick. Thanks for linkin up and for the great laugh.

It is funny. I can totally see the humor in it, yet I’m too close to it to be able to laugh yet. But with everyone laughing about it today, things are looking much funnier.

OMGoodness. That is gross (and funny. sorry.)

Hmmm… the worst thing… well, my son Will (3 & disabled) on an almost daily basis plays with his poop and on those really “fun” days, he paints the inside of his crib-tent with it. Good times.

12 Allison August 25, 2010 at 11:07 pm

Oh my. That does not sound pleasant. I hope that the crib-tent is easy to clean up!

Well, the fact that you actually wrote a blog post about it shows that you are well on your way to start to laugh about it. :)

14 Allison August 25, 2010 at 11:08 pm

That’s a good point. All of the giggles from everyone is helping too.

I only laugh because I am in the middle of training my triplets and stranger things have happened over here. ;)

16 Allison August 25, 2010 at 11:09 pm

Training TRIPLETS!?!?! I can’t even imagine. How’s it going?

Reply

17 Jen August 26, 2010 at 6:55 am

Actually, its going pretty well. My daughter is completely trained. And I have one of the boys mostly trained. And my last one, well, I think we are going to wait until Christmas to start him. He is so not ready and I am not going to push him. I say as long as they are trained by Kindergarten then great. So that gives him about 2 more years, they are 3 now. :)

LOL he’s super adorable! :D
That’s a good attitude you got there already.
Mine would be when my son poop and didn’t tell me and I was having a really bad cold. Usually he would tell me – not that time. Alas it was still in a pull up but still OMG it was not a pretty sight. Guess I should thank my stuffy nose LOL.

19 Allison August 25, 2010 at 11:10 pm

Poop in a pull up is never a good thing. What a mess. I know, since my kiddo refuses to poop on the potty. He ONLY goes in his pull ups. Better than undies I suppose.

OH Alli, you may be crying and can not laugh at this yet, but I am laughing so hard I am crying. this is too funny!

21 Allison August 25, 2010 at 11:11 pm

That totally makes my day! I’m glad you found so much humor in it.

I love the way you posted your sons adventures in potty training. Boys can be so gross……but so cute at the same time. :)

23 Allison August 25, 2010 at 11:12 pm

Yes, it is the cuteness that keeps from going totally insane.

My daughter was in the midst of potty training, which really amounted to nothing more than her refusing to wear diapers. My parents were in town and had taken our family to dinner at arguably the fanciest restaurant in town. My mom and I were on the booth side, when she drew my attention to a big turd that Layla had deposited. It had flown right threw her pants and onto the booth. We cleaned it up quickly to our embarrassment.

25 Allison August 25, 2010 at 11:13 pm

Wow, just wow! I would have been so embarrassed. Did anyone at the restaurant notice?

26 Jessica August 25, 2010 at 10:59 am

lol. This is hilarious! And, I love that you narrated the event through tweets! So creative!

OH.MY.GOD. You poor thing! The story started out a little funny…until you got to the fact that you had pee being strewn all over the house. That must have taken forever to clean up! Luckily my kids haven’t really done anything THAT disgusting that was beyond their control…the barfing in their beds (or mine, like the other night) is probably the worst. Blech.

Thanks for linking up with me today. I am now following you with GFC. Have a great day!

28 Allison August 25, 2010 at 11:15 pm

It did take forever. Little splatters here and there. Thankfully I convinced hubby to take on the steam cleaning duties. Well, round one anyway. Round two was all me.

29 Justine August 25, 2010 at 2:17 pm

Wow. It’s really funny to us of course but man that must have been quite a day for you. Holy cleanup crew (that’s all you!)

Love the way you shared your story. Nice layout!

30 Allison August 25, 2010 at 11:16 pm

Thanks Justine! Yes, the clean up was all me at first. Hubby took on round one of the steam cleaner. I took on round two. It was quiet the event. :-)

31 Christine LaRocque August 25, 2010 at 3:31 pm

First of all this, how you present it, is tremendously creative. I love it.

And I’m sorry to say that I laughed…I hope you don’t mind but really what else is there to do?

Reply

32 Allison August 25, 2010 at 11:16 pm

Oh yes, laugh away. Honestly, if it had happened to someone else, I would be laughing too.

33 Kristin August 25, 2010 at 3:32 pm

Very cool way to blog. My youngest was sitting on my knee at the dinner table and spontaneously vomitted and dutied. Vomit all over the meal and diarrhea all over me and the floor. Needless to say no one was hungry any more.

34 Allison August 25, 2010 at 11:17 pm

Ick, ick, ick! Was the poor kid sick?

Reply

35 Kristin August 26, 2010 at 7:30 am

That was the beginning of an illness that put her in the hospital for dehydration. She recovered, and now I can laugh about the scene at the dinner table. She’s my youngest, and the faces of my older two were priceless.

36 Cascia @ Healthy Moms August 25, 2010 at 3:59 pm

That is so funny! Sorry you had such a mess to clean up. When my second born was about 2 we still had her in pull ups for naps and bed time. During one particular nap she went poopie in her pull up and decided to stick her fingers in it and paint the walls of her bedroom. That was the most disgusting thing that I had to clean up; or did my husband clean it up? I can’t remember, but it was gross.

Have a wonderful Wednesday. I hope your son doesn’t pee on the clean carpet again!

37 Allison August 25, 2010 at 11:18 pm

Yuck. Poop stories beat out pee stories every time. Hands down.

38 LZ August 25, 2010 at 4:08 pm

Oh, I can relate. We are potty training right now, and it’s not going very well.
Our grossest story? A few weeks ago, I was in the kitchen and walked out to find what I thought was cat puke (gross enough for its own comment…) on the dining room floor. I went to check on the girls, thinking I’d get to it in a minute. Sure enough…a trail of the ‘cat puke’ leading from the dining room to the bathroom to the TV room carpet to my 3 year old with a massive diaper blowout. She actually somehow managed to crap in her sister’s shoes.
I still shudder thinking about that clean up job.

39 Allison August 25, 2010 at 11:19 pm

She crapped in her sisters shoe? Now THAT has me laughing. We had our fair share of blow out poopy diapers on the floors too. Actually, one time I stepped in it before I realized what happened. Shudder.

SO gross. Kids and their bodily functions are not fun at all. Love how you did that by the way – cool.

I hope no one remembers that day at Sea World San Antonio in 2003? The man running out of the Lost Lagoon with a 9month old baby with diarrhea oozing out of his little swimmer diaper? Me running after them, trying to clean up the trail they left behind with wetties? really shitty day…..
