How many times can you begin the day with a route canal and end it with your child waking up at 1 in the morning blowing chunks all over his bedroom floor? The bathroom is, at most, 10 ft away, c'mon!! I thought I taught him better than that and that those days of trying to lift vomit out of carpet were behind us, but Timmy set a new record. The only other stain more resistant to removal is kool aid as not even Oxy Clean can stand up to it, no matter what Billy Mays says.
It must have been those damn free root beer floats Sonic was giving away to celebrate the last day of school from 8-10pm. I've never seen so many cars flock to the drive-in in the pouring rain like shoppers who stampede Toys R Us the day after Thanksgiving at 4am, afraid that supplies won't last. We would have never stopped at that time had we not already been in that area driving home from football practice. All week long their school had sent home flyers advertising this frenzy, pumping my boys up on the hype only to let them down. Aside from Timmy, the rest of us weren't able to finish our sickeningly sweet drinks and now he will never want this classic summer treat ever again.
