Gloating lesson #2: One should not brag that he is impervious to the germs of his wife and child
As I stood in the bathroom doorway tonight watching Chuck puke his brains out, the poet William Carlos Williams suddenly appeared to me. He said, "Mrs. Mullet, screw the wheelbarrow. It's time for a rewrite."
I give you:
The White Toilet
so much depends
upon
a vomiting
husband
glazed with clammy
sweat
who was supposed to
take out the garbage.
Dammit! I hate taking out the garbage.

Well, I suppose though, it's better than puking into the toilet. Yes?
I soooooo forgot to take out the garbage today. And I was not puking. OH F-bomb.
LOL
Personally I think it is unfair that husbands always end up having the task of taking out the trash.
*pause*
Although, given the tasks I turned down I accept it humbly.
Yuck! Sorry about the hubster and the trash! I feel for ya! Big hugs!
Junior is never too young to learn how to take out the trash. It's why we breed.
That will teach him!!!

Yes, I do believe taking out the trash is a task Junior can be learning. :D Hope your husband gets to feeling better soon. And the entire household gets rid of the ickies.
well done. wcw would be proud.
Taking the trash out sucks but I would rather do that than put the frozen food away. Weird, but I hate that and puking is way down on the bottom of the list.
I hate taking out the garbage. I also hate nursing the sick husband. I think I'd rather take out the garbage.
i hate trash. The trash can is big and bulky and it smells.
oh dear hope chuck is better soon...cuz i so would not take out the garbage okay okay i would but geesh it's such a mans job like mowing the lawn and weed eating and changing oil...right...right?
Paul used to say that he was a big guy, so it took really big germs to take him down. Now he gets sick more than the toddler. Guess the germs are too big to get US now?
Lyrical. Just lyrical.
As long as he made it to the toilet and you didn't have to rinse out his barf bucket.
Now, quarantine that man and hightail it to the next county before the virus mutates and takes you and Junior out. Again.
The one thing I like about the weather we get at this time of year. Forgetting to take out the trash is not a problem. It'll just freeze and wait till next week.
