...an event she disliked intensely. Laid her down afterward, lotioned her up, wrapped her warm and snug in a swaddle, and as I held her, this look of great sadness and betrayal transformed her face into the very likeness of woe. I leaned in and asked, "What's wrong?"...and just as my lips formed the "o" in "wrong," she barfed right into my mouth.

Cheers!

As for the barf, look on the bright side - you didn't have to change your shirt (again!)

You still make it sound enjoyable. Congrats again Will. Also, kudos to you for taking charge tonight (or last night?) and letting momma rest.

... and that he pissed me off by doing the "cootchie-cootchie-coo" to my nose for
too long, so I hauled off and BELTED him in that nose hard enough to make his
eyes water.

Wish I'd thought of the barf thing.

Really, so sorry. I recall watching my aunt changing my baby brother's diaper, whereupon he peed into her face. I LAUGHED and LAUGHED, and Aunt Estelle provided me (5 years old at the time) with a withering gaze.
Life ain't for chickens, ya know!

Now, she hardly calls.

Might as well just get used to the barf, btw. Make sure you have a spare shirt and jacket handy at all times.
