It's not often you get to tell a fun story about projectile vomiting.
Katie's friend Heidi and her two kids Madeleine (age 10) and Ethan (age 6) were over to visit yesterday. At one point while the adults were talking, Madeleine and Ethan were playing an odd game. Madeleine would recite the alphabet and in between each letter, Ethan would belch. He kept the belching going by periodically taking large gulps from a can of diet root beer. I noticed the children playing this odd game and pointed it out to Katie and Heidi. Enjoying the attention, perhaps, they continued three times through the alphabet. They had gotten to "Q" on their fourth time through when Ethan suddenly erupted: a long, perfectly cylindrical column of brownish liquid exploded from his mouth and violently smacked Madeleine across the face.
No one was harmed, though, and the efflux seemed to be over 99% defizzed diet soda with no remnants of lunch. The adults tried to be somewhat stern so as not to encourage such extreme games in the future, but I really couldn't help laughing hard throughout the whole cleanup process. I'd give anything to have been taking video!

ReplyDeleteNow that's funny! Unless you're Madeleine of course.
ReplyDeleteThat cracked me up
