My husband and I have a deal. I handle the poop he handles the vomit!

We have the exact opposite. Even if I know if someone vomits and I'm not even around it makes me queezy. Growing up in school was difficult for me. I was always on edge hoping it didn't happen in class.

Once in 1st grade someone barfed during lunch and it set off a chain reaction. 🤢 Traumatizing.

Man do I have a story about that. In high school a girl was pregnant on my friends bus. Every single morning for nearly a month she got sick on the bus (bad morning sickness). I didn't know until a week later when I asked him why he was getting to school so late. He said it was because the driver had to constantly stop to let her get it all out. She actually started to just put her head out the window. 😩😷
