He does not think that he will ever feel that way so that's cool that you don't.JMJEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817081026899158501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886831929200202353.post-21258071459808283312010-03-03T20:06:40.563-05:002010-03-03T20:06:40.563-05:00Congratulations on the first tooth fairy visit.

"The tooth fairy brings a shiny quarter," is my favorite line.<br /><br />My daughter spit up in my mouth when she was about eight months old. It is to this day the most disgusting thing that has ever happened to me. I was lifting her over my head. "Oooh, you're an airplane," or some crap. She hurled and it went right in my gaping mouth.<br /><br />How's your gag reflex?Joey Lynn Rescinitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219074986338894660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886831929200202353.post-51496747598074848432010-03-03T15:20:35.896-05:002010-03-03T15:20:35.896-05:00Both my kids had to sign binding contracts before ...Both my kids had to sign binding contracts before they were brought home from the hospital.. promising they would never vomit if Dad wasn't home..

I'm routinely peed on, wiped boogers on, and bit. In fact, I sometimes spend a lot of time doing oral care, which means I've cleaned rotten, days old food out of grown-ups mouths. In fact, of the previously mentioned gross things, I've had 2 happen today (thus far). Can you guess which ones? what can I say? It's a glamorous life. : )Rachel@just another day in paradisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10045841426378572740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886831929200202353.post-45204176344991925412010-03-02T15:37:05.582-05:002010-03-02T15:37:05.582-05:00See, these are the things I don't think about ...See, these are the things I don't think about when considering starting a family. I totally forgot that small people lose their teeth and Mommas have to clean them up.<br /><br />Things that gross me out are: runny cat poop, mildewy hair that you pull out of a drain, moldy chili that was made a few weeks ago and you forgot about and now it's all green on top.Amanda @ It's Blogworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14919340979575037179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886831929200202353.post-72767195094324324912010-03-02T15:32:48.553-05:002010-03-02T15:32:48.553-05:00After six kids, not a lot.

Good for you. Congratulation...You pulled the tooth! Good for you. Congratulations. Well done.<br /><br />I like to wait for them to fall out. Josiah has only lost one so far but he has another one that is loose and I am content to wait for as long as necessary.<br /><br />I HATE pet vomit the most. I don't gag easily but one whiff of that stuff and I run the other way. Good for me and bad for him, my husband has no sense of smell so if he is nearby or will be nearby relatively soon, he gets the cleanup job. That whole "since you can't smell" thing works pretty well for disgusting diapers too.Sarah and the Gentlemenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05939815937836651261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886831929200202353.post-37952577499786395472010-03-02T14:25:16.145-05:002010-03-02T14:25:16.145-05:00What grosses me out?

Well, today at the park when I thought the stains on my daughter's pants were cocoa and then later, after about an hour in the hot sun, I discovered they were actually poop, that grossed me out. Then, trying to clean up the aforementioned hot, poopy diaper and finding out the poop was dried and caked on like grains of sand that just would NOT come off and...<br /><br />Yeah, okay, that's about as far as I'm willing to go!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16644613647401437326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886831929200202353.post-46586054029993671842010-03-02T10:47:50.251-05:002010-03-02T10:47:50.251-05:00Oooo bloody teeth, yuck.

My oldest son took most of the tip of his finger off one time and the hubs REFUSED to look at it - just said, I'll drive you to the ER. But he does handle loose tooth, which I am grateful for. Seeing them dangling there just freaks me the hell out. And I HATE IT when the boys play with super loose teeth with their tongues.
