  Changing the dirty nappy…I gag terribly!

  I hate the milk smell…especially when you just get to work and you know it will be there all day…and everyone else will smell it…

  Oooh ooh - can I share something really gross!

  Whilst changing a dirty nappy, a really dirty one, with the “aid” of my then 2.5 yo, well, my then 2.5 yo started gagging (I think he chose option 1 - hehehe) and then vomited on his baby brothers head.

  Can I choose that option????

  Otherwise, option 1.

  Bryan, no one else can smell option 2 - its all in your mind

  HAS to be the dirty nappy. Some of them are special deliveries straight from hell. How can such a small gift of joy offer back so much darkness?

  Heh heh. Keep em coming, this is making me laugh big time! (Mad Cow, thanks for sharing … I think)

  I have to go with milk vomit. I’m typically prepared for the worst when it comes to a dirty nappy. The milk vomit always comes as a surprise and it always finds the most inappropriate places to land. I.e, the only tie that brings both the shirt and pants together, the couch seat just before company, the fresh outfit you just changed babe into after baby had a blowout that escaped the diaper…. I could probably go on.

  I think that’s probably enough information, Jonathan.

  The nappy. I have a great milk story, though.

  I’m a professional musician. I was dressed in my tux one day and my son (at the time between 1-2 yrs) hugged me goodbye, and hurled on my tux. SO I went inside and changed into my backup tux. Another hug, another hurl. I did the gig in a grey sport coat and black pants. It was bad news. So for me, baby hurl is NBD.

  Gotta agree with Jonathan on this one. Kids with yuck diapers can be hosed of in the backyard.

  Milk puke sticks even after you clean it up…and if it’s in the car…wait till you get back in…ugh!!

  I’m going with the nappy (which will even the score here, so far). With Oldest Son, as an infant there was a 6 month period where (when it was my turn to change the baby) I would say “Ok, son, if this is #1’s and not #2’s, I’ll buy you a cheeseburger from McDonalds when you’re older”.

  For 6 months it worked! (I unfortunately told this to oldest son recently. We’re now down to 13 cheeseburgers I still owe him)…

  …BUT! When the run of good luck finally came to an end - OH MY DEAR LORD!!!!! Gag, vomit, “I can’t handle the truth!!!!” - I had not gotten used to the smell (and as you know the poo gets worse as they get older)…

  …So just on odor alone, my votes with the nappy.

  Digi Dad, two tuxes in one night? Ouch!

  And April, you do have a point about that lingering car odor.

  I was happy that we’re past the diaper stage in my homestead. But now I have to worry about the darn cat vomiting in my slippers, on my side of the bed, on my closet floor.

  One demon replaces the other.

  lol! The cat wins.
