Washing Your Mouth Out With Soap



Apparently, soap is NOT a good snack. 

The Beast had already has his bath for the night, but decided he wasn't quite clean enough.  So, when I was making dinner he jumped in the shower with Princess.  While in the shower, he decided to really scrub all of his nooks and crevices (including his mouth) with a buddy bar, aka soap.  When I saw him covered in sudsy bubbles I thought, "Ahh...how cute!"  Then when I saw him making yucky faces and trying to get the soap out of his mouth with his already soapy hands, I thought, like any good mom would, "Picture Time!". 

While I was off fetching the camera, the soap proved too much for the Beast and he promptly threw up in the bathtub.  Did that stop me from at least trying to get one picture in before I came to his rescue?  You bet it didn't!  Hey, these moments are what memories are made of.  When he gets older I'm going to tell this story to his friends, girlfriends, and eventually his wife.  Inevitably, as he wises up, he will probably point out that I let him wallow in vomit all for the sake of one lousy, blurry picture.  You know what I say to that?

Damn straight.

That's what good mom's are made of!

FYI:  Damn is part of the "holy trinity" of words that my mom would utter on an frequent occasional basis.  Thus, making it a perfectly acceptable word for mom's to use.
