Stomach Virus
Posted in Mom Life on 02/08/2007 11:38 am by toriWhen a woman becomes a mother, all sense of reason flies out the window. Polite conversation, small talk, weather - they’re replaced by poop, projectile vomiting and food intake. For some reason, if you have a baby (or toddler, or even older child I suppose) speaking of bowel movements and poop is commonplace, even expected.
I didn’t realize, however, that this carries over to adult life as well. Suddenly, when you have a stomach flu, it seems ok to talk to another adult about the consistency and odor of your excrement. Taboos be damned, I’ve got the diarrhea!
Yet another reason to be thankful I’m a mom - new conversation starters.
