From an exegetical point of view the meaning of major elements drives us to consider excessive use of the 19th century frameworks.

Ummm....k?

The joy of kids, eh?

When my son was five he would sometimes wake up in the night and have to go potty, but he wouldn't be awake all the way so he was essentially sleepwalking. One night I'm in the livingroom watching Conan and he walks up to me doing this funny little dance. I asked him if he needed to go potty and he says yes. I say well lets go into the bathroom. As I'm getting up off the couch, he turns and walks about four feet away then whips it out and starts peeing on the floor!

Another time he did the same thing again, only this time he peed in a wagon full of toys!

My brother used to do that. My parents tried to keep us from finding out, but one night instead of going into the bathroom he peed down the cold air retun just outside it. Another night he walked into my room (I was awake reading) and I asked what he was doing, "going to the bathroom" he replied. You know this isn't the bathroom I asked, "... yeah" he said as he starts to lower his pants. I shouted "WHOH" and jumped out of bed (top of a bunk, so yes jump) and pushed him out. He then walked to the closet at the end of the hall where my parents keep clothes they havn't worn in 20 years pulled down his pants and took a leak. I just laughed, closed my door and went back to reading.

How old were the two of you?

Well it's morning and my kid is doing a little better. He still barfed a few more times, but we got him a barf bowl to aim in this time. Just trying to keep him loaded with fluids but not too much so he barfs it up. I'm still mad about the bed but what can you do at this point. I've got a bed with pee soaked right into it forever. No steam cleaner could ever get it all out. Oh well.

My wife and I were really laughing about the whole incident this morning, really just the fact that we couldn't believe what happened. Kids are awesome but you have to deal this from time to time. When else would you ever think of trying to catch barf with anything at all when someone is puking. Usually your trying to clear the area. The joys of parenthood!

Child-free people say this, but how many parents have you heard say "man, my kid just puked his guts on our floor... I wish we never had him/her".

Dealing with the occassional digestive mishap is a small price to pay for the lessons a child can teach you .

My wife and I are too selfish to have kids. My niece and nephew are just enough "kids" for us.

 

[keeleysam]

LMFAO.

I'd hate to be you right about now.

With all the barfing, pooping, sweating, peeing you may want to think about taking your son to the hospital. He can become severaly dehydrated and could become worse. 5 years old doing all of what you have described is not what I would call a normal flu. What has his temp been though all of this?????

True true.......
Man... poor kid... Definetly give him as much fluids as possible. Of course it'll be coming out as fast as its going in.

I feel ya. My lil girl is 5yrs old and man o' man.... she's a handful.

Let us know when he feels better.

got a good chuckle from this...sorry to hear that though

Aren't kids fun? Yours at least had an excuse, some are just hellions. I'm STILL hearing stories about my escapades when I was child through my parents every so often as they remember events of old on occasion. Some I remember myself. Some of the things I used to do as a kid.


1) It seems some mornings I would wake up (still a toddler in training diapers) earlier then my parents if I needed to change my diapers. If they didn't wake up fast enough to change me or get me something to change into, I would drop my diapers, and start smearing what was in them all over the walls.

2)I used to sleep walk and imagine all sorts of things looked like a toilet to pee in.... couch, fireplace, refrigerator, television, etc. Which was funny because after 4 years old, I was told I never once wet my bed again, despite my little brother was still wetting his bed up until he turned 17 (or he got better at hiding it). I still laugh at him over that and he HATES that. I wouldn't pee on my bed at that age, just everything else.

3) Growing up, I ate like a PIG and never gained a pound. I remember eating 3 LARGE pizza's myself and still not feeling full. I can barely eat half a large now (4 slices) and not feel like I'm bloated.

4) I've a medical record so thick, people would confuse it on the shelf for the dictionary (okay, maybe not the same cover but the thickness of it was there). Full of broken bones, stitches, and what not from doing some really dumb things as a kid to get myself injured.

5) When I was younger, I used to climb up odd areas and sleep only to be discovered by frantic searches of my parents later. I'd climb on top of the wall unit and sleep up there, I'd climb to the top of a linen closest shelf and sleep there, I even tried climbing an Xmas tree but got stuck halfway, knocked it over, and fell asleep there. All this done sleepwalking.

Oh the stories could go on forever about the dumb and embarassing things kids do. Especially some kids like me.

ummm... no, Reason #10,001 to have hardwood floors! Hope he is feeling better!

Yeah, but there's no such thing as a hardwood bed which was the first part of the story.

I feel for you two and the kid. Hopefully, he feels much better.

:disgust:My 5 year old son is sick and is taking a long nap in our bed this evening(he went and got in him self and went to sleep). I'm thinking all is fine, he is asleep in a nice quiet place so we can continue on with the evening and not desturb him.

My wife goes in to go to bed and move him and finds him in the bed with no freaking pants or underwear on and he has crapped and peed all over in our bed! What the #@#*!!!!! So after my wife and I are done freaking out I give him a bath and take him into the living room while we clean up.

Then I hear him starting to barf and I run out there just as he is starting. I'm looking for something to catch it in becuase I don't want barf on the floor. All I can find is the robe he is wearing, but after about 2 seconds I realize it's not going to catch it. I pick him up and start running down the hall for the bathroom becuase he hasn't really started chucking it up yet so there is still a chance. Half way down the hall he hurls the rest out in a big streak down the hallway.

So at end of the night I have a barfed up hallway and a peed and crapped in bed. So now I'm online looking at how much steam cleaners cost so I can sanitize our house. I guess we'll be sleeping on the floor.

If it happened to someone else I think I would think the whole thing was pretty funny.

Is this your first kid?
'Cause I have three and at this point we just clean up what we can, lay some towels down and get some rest. We clean it up in the morning... you can't take care of sick people if you're exhausted.

Just goes to show why you should have hardwood or laminite flooring (and a good washing machine)

Neither helps with the mattress now having been peed in. We have a vinyl liner for the crib mattress, but not for our mattress, so we try to be really careful there.

 

[BooGiMaN]

this is reason i have tile floors throughout the house..at least until my kids are older clean up is a whole lot easier than carpet

before he climbed into your bed did he not give any indication that he was sick..taking off all of his clothes must mean he was running a high fever ..

 

[funboy6942]

Up for an update on the boy

Yes, it is. I have 2 kids, and am currently laughing as I type. Laughing WITH you, not AT you, remember.

BTW, poor little guy. Hope he feels better soon.
