All I Want for Christmas...

File Under: It sucks when the little bastards get sick


Dear Satan Santa:

I've been a pretty good boy this year. I rarely beat my wife, use only the mildest of hallucinogens, pay most of my taxes, haven't gotten arrested again, stopped eating veal, stopped clubbing seals and threw out all my John Tesh records. There is only one thing I want this year.

The Fletch-Monster's had some mutant bug for the past week, causing him to leak out of both ends. He's in good spirits, playing with his brother and running around the house squealing, in between bouts of vomit and diarrhea. This morning, I have changed the world's most disgusting diaper. Even the Fletch-Monster, in his infinite 20 months worth of wisdom was driven to say, "Yucky. Daddy, yucky." as I negotiated the delicate task of removing his soiled pyjamas and shirt.

"I know, little buddy," I reassured him, as I took off his clothes (all the while thinking "you're GODDAMNED right this is gross! This is as gross as all hell)."

He had the presence of mind to clench his arms firmly against his sides, ensuring I could not pull his clothes over his head. After a quick look around for a pair of scissors, the best course of action was to pull the clothes down, and have him escape through the head.

So if you could somehow manage to make sure the next diaper has a solid bowel movement, I'll get your back. Please. May it have the consistency of a Denver nugget, a yule log, Snickers Bar, Hershey's Kiss, fruit cake... even chocolate toothpaste.


Yours truly,
Prego

I can remember this so well, in fact far too well. Glad I'm not the only one who has to experience it:-)
Happy Christmas.

Eww, ewww ewwww!!! Yeah, I've actually stood a child in the tub, pulled off the clothes, and turned on the shower. The clothes went into the garbage, double bagged.

Prego,

Don't think the young man who hit on me was you......he hadn't broken the quarter century mark yet.

Good one just the same.

BTW, as you know, shit happens.

Uhmm... i'm thinking twice about touching the Hershey's Kisses in our chocolate bowl in front of me.... hehe.
Thanks for stopping by my site! My vacation in Cebu was absolutely fun! Have a Merry Christmas!!!

I hate it when the poo has filled up the diaper and spilled into the jammies. I guess the bathtub is the best place to do the undressing in those cases.

kontan said...

i'm beginning to wonder if anyone was well this year! aaa-aaa-CHOO! 'scuse me. *sniff*

That brings back so many memories for me *chuckles* I just had to post a comment as that is the funniest thing I've read in a long time. The great thing about having an 8 year old is being able to point and laugh at parents with younger ones :D Hope it all worked out ;)
