Rosebud, the three-year-old, decided to sit out dinner tonight and played with some toys in the family room.
As I was dishing up desert, some candy-like apple crisp that Wife had made from scratch before going to work, she started yelling and moaning. I assumed this meant the usual: she screams like a woman in labor EVERY time she’s about to poop.
So when the two big girls started calling to me as I cleared the table, I more or less ignored them.
“Um, Dad, you really need to come over here,” Fontaine said.
Yeah, yeah.
“Dad, really, you need to come over NOW!”
So I walked around the corner, and ooh, yuck, yick…
Rosebud stood there over a pile of vomit.
Are you OK, sweetie, I asked.
“Yeah.”
“WHAT did you eat today?” Fontaine asked.
Rosebud pointed at the puke.
“That,” she said.
Hard to argue with “that.”
Ask a Silly Question…

Oh, I just love her response to Fontaine’s question! I hope she feels better soon. Poor little thing; it’s hard to know what is wrong with them since they usually can’t explain it well.
I remember when we were in high school and one time when I was babysitting for my favorite 2 children, the little boy was about 2-3, and I was ready to give them supper. He was in his high chair and was crying, fussy which was very unusual. I kept asking what was wrong, and he couldn’t tell me until all of a sudden he puked. I felt so sorry for him.
