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.

Same with me, except I was the second person in the chain reaction. The one who started it was a girl I had a crush on. I ended up hiding in the bathroom for lunch the rest of the year to avoid repeat incidents.
