Truly Gross!!

I have been going through pictures to put in albums for Christmas gifts and have found myself laughing and crying on my trip down memory lane. It’s funny how all those memories get stirred up and you remember how much you’ve forgotten....

Anyway, one of those memories had me laughing and gagging all at once...so my question is, what is the grossest thing one of your kids has done?...and I mean truly gross?? I’ll go first.

It’s been 14 years, and I may still gag a little when I write it...

When my son was about 18 months old, I gave him grapes, cut in half. He LOVED them!! Gobbled them right up and we were all thrilled to finally find a fruit he’d eat. (Kid hated fruit) So after the woo hoos and hugs for eating like such a big boy, off he went while I congratulated myself on my “mommy skills”. The next morning, we had diaper blow out! Ick running to the ankles kinda blow out!...when I opened the diaper there were about 18 to 2 dozen half grapes swimming in all that ick. He had swallowed them all whole. I wrapped up the diaper, dropped it in the almost full garbage can and ushered my sweet boy off to the bathtub where we splashed away all that mess. I got him out, dried him off, and while I wiped up the floor he wandered out of the bathroom. When I was done, he wasn’t in the living room or his bedroom? Not in the kitchen? And then I found him; squatted down in the laundry room with that diaper spread out in front of him, shoveling grapes into his mouth as fast as he could, up to his elbows in all that poop....AAAUURGH! I let out a scream, scooped him up and rushed off to sanitize my befouled child yet again!

When teeth were thoroughly brushed and he was again poop-free, I took the garbage out, and cleaned the mess up off the laundry room floor. With Nick Jr. on the television and a pop tart gripped firmly in one little hand, I left my son on the couch to go clean up the bathroom again.

That finished, I went to check on the “little angel”...not in the living room? Bedroom? Kitchen? No, no, no....where was he? He was digging the grapes that he stashed in the laundry basket out for yet another snack!

Longest morning of my life!

Ever have a day like that?

What can I do next?

that is the grossest thing I have ever read in my entire life. The worst so far is when my 2 1/2 year old was about 7 or so months old. I went to pick him up from my in-laws after I got off of work that evening. I went in and chit chatted for a few minutes. Picked up my son, held him up above my head, smiled while saying "Hi buddy" and he threw up....IN MY MOUTH!!!!!! it went in my mouth and all down the front of my shirt. It was so fricken nasty!!! My in-laws proceeded to laugh while I was gagging and set him back down to go to the sink to wash out my mouth and such. It was so nasty!

This isn't about any of my kids but, about my husband as a toddler. He and his mom were at the grocery store. He was pulling little marble size poop out of his diaper and throwing it on the ground when his mom wasn't looking. His little sister was following along behind them eating it thinking it was candy. Yucko!

Hahahhahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! Oh my GOSH that is too funny!!!

The worst thing I have (so far) is this...

When my oldest son, now 2.5, was 18 months, and my baby boy, now 1, was newly home from the hospital, I was changing the L. ones diaper on the couch. I turned around for one second to grab a wipe, my big boy had grabbed the sticky, black, poopy diaper and twirled it over his head. He got himself, baby brother, and M. with that nasty poo!!! Then, since I had taken too long to cover baby, HE peed all over M.!

Haha, I will never forget the day I brought home my second baby :-)

wow. this can not top your story.
BUT
when I was a nanny (before I had kids) I was watching a 5 year old boy, 3 year old girl and a one year old girl. I fed the kids dinner and we were all washing up getting ready for bed. I took the baby in the bedroom to change a poopy diaper and I hear crying from the little boy. I grab the not quite changed baby, I go into the bathroom and he is STANDING on top of the toilet seat and pooping diarrhea EVERYWHERE. All over himself, the seat, the floor. And he is BAWLING. Terrified about what is coming out of him.
I try not to flip out and put the naked baby on the floor outside the bathroom, pick up the little boy and put him in the shower.
In the mean time the three year old little girl, who is sort of fragile, starts puking EVERYWHERE in the bathroom. Whether they all have a stomach bug or she's affected by the brothers poop smell, I don't know. She's crying as she's puking, I'm holding her as she cries between throw ups....
At this point, I'm obviously covered in poop and puke and haven't had a chance to clean any of it off the floor yet.
Well, the three year old has never had a shower so when I try to put her in the shower with her brother she flips out, so I take her into the parents bathroom where there is a bath. I stick her in the bath (in her nightgown), turn on warm water, and come back to get the baby who....is finger painting/rolling around/crawling in the poop/puke mix all over the bathroom floor. I don't even know if any of it went in her mouth. At this point I didn't really care.
I was so grossed out (remember--- these arn't MY kids!), I almost puked. But I had to clean up the little boy, the little girl, the baby now, and the bathroom.
Longest, most disgusting babysitting night of my life. I can still smell it in my nose a little.

That was really good birth control for about 5 years.
And then those little girls were flower girls (and the poopy boy the ring bearer) in my wedding years later....

My 16 yr old LOVES red velvet cake and a couple yrs ago she made one.

Well she ate a large portion of it.

Next day she came to M. screaming in my room... "I am pooping blood" .So I make sure she is not on her period, check.. then start asking questions then I recall the red velvet cake...

Then I cracked up, she is crying, asking M. why I am laughing at her because she is going to die and I told her that the red velvet cake or eating red things will do that to her poop.

We now laugh about it but she seriously thought she was dying that day.

Wow! And I thought my story was gross.
We were out to dinner with my in-laws. My son was getting the "hang" of getting potty trained, so he was fascinated by the urinals in the men's room.
After my husband took him to pee about 6 times, I volunteered for the next trip. I took him into the ladies room, he peed in the toilet and I was holding him up to the sink so he could reach to wash his hands and I
(an über public restroom germaphobe) heard a slurping sound and, sure enough, my son was LICKING the top of the sink in the public restroom! I could have died!

My husband and I gagged for you as well...and then laughed out loud . I would have vomitted if I were you! Thanks for sharing your story.

I think you've topped my gross poop story, which constists of M. pregnant, taking care of my sick daughter. She had had a diarrhea blow out and unbeknownst to M., it spilled out of her pants all over the floor and stairs. Once I got her all cleaned up and bathed, I carried her down the steps. Not the normal way most pregnant moms carry an older sibling downstairs, no I went all the way down on my butt and elbow, because I slipped on diarrhea while stepping off the top step and slid all the way down to the bottom, with my screaming daughter in my arms...didn't drop her, but the steps and I were now covered in diarrhea. I cried for a long time at the bottom of the steps :(

That is truly gross!

My sister-in-law brought my nephew to our house to play with my son, they were about a year and half old. We were all out in the front yard when I noticed my nephew chewing something. My sil knelt down to see what he had in his mouth and she started gagging. He had a mouth full of green snails/shells and was eating them! ugh!!!! There he stood, smiling at us with a mouthful of green mush. I kept thinking about how they must have been alive & waving their nasty eyestalks around when he popped them in his mouth. He kept trying to wiggle away while she repeatedly 'finger-swept' his mouth to get them out. We were so disgusted.

Ok I might be able to top this one! Here goes...

As much as I hate to admit it this one is about M. as a toddler. I am told I was somewhere around 18months. I was sitting on the kitchen floor playing while Mom was working in the kitchen. When she turned back to M. I was covered in blood, mouth, hands, clothes and the floor around M.. She could tell the blood was coming from my mouth and as she is looking to see what all this blood is coming from she finds in my mouth... the carcass of an inflated wood tick.... Yep we had a dog that dropped it in the house, and I thought it was an M & M. Popped it right in my mouth. Scared the bejezus out of my Mom with all that blood, and set the bar impossibly high for gross things to come!

Yep that's my own personal gag M. to this day story!!!

Wow, that story and several of the responses makes my grossest stories seem so mundane! First one: I came home from work one day to find everyone napping. Except my daughter had woken up and spread her messy diaper contents on the wall, her crib, and it was all over herself. 2: I stepped on a large centipede in the dark hallway with bare feet! I was right outside the sleeping baby's bedroom, so I couldn't even scream in disgust. (Neither of these even comes close, I know!)

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, Mamas!

Ohh, these are disgusting! I J. happen to have one from a week ago...I was on the phone with my mom, my little one (okay, she's 3 1/2...waaaay too old to be the star in this story, but here goes) All of a sudden I realized she wasn't in the room 'helping' M. with laundry anymore...I told my mom "I gotta go, I don't know where Lexie is....and she's *quiet*!" I found her in the bathroom, and asked what she was up to. Her response: "Nothing..." Ha! all you mamas know that is the first sign of uh-oh! I asked again, same response, and I asked, "Lexie, what is in your mouth?" "Nothing..." "Let M. smell your breath" Eeeeeww, her breath was RANK! I demanded again to know what she had put in her mouth, and so she says "Follow M., I'll show you!" She leads M. to her sisters room and says to M. "When Hayley was sick and threw up, what if some was on the floor?" and there is a tiny chunk of barf on the floor! OMG, I knew where the rest had gone! (Her sister had thrown up a few nights earlier, and I was gone...leaving dad to clean) After I told her that was disgusting, and to go brush her teeth, her grandma shoewd up to pick her up. Lexie calls M. to her and whispers; "Don't tell grandma I ate barf!"

I don't believe anyone will top that story. GROSS.

When my duaghter was 3 we took her to a kids concert downtown. We rode the Metro, which is the DC rail/subway, about a 20 minute ride. I looked down for a minute when I looked up, i saw her licking the window of the subway car. You know how a kid might draw in frost on a window? Well, she wanted to make little pictures. LICKED A SUBWAY!!

Question: How old is he now? Do you tell him the story? Have you told anyone in person? Boy, you can hold that over his head for YEARS.

Oha and I thought of another. Same child. We are in a family sports bar restarant. She threw up all over M., the table, the floor, and the booth. But the really gross part - the staff acted like this happens all the time.

OK, I laughed out loud at many of these posts!

I have to share my uber-disgusting one too. Still makes M. cringe.... here goes:

So my husband and I took a road trip with our 4 year old son and our 2 year old daughter to Utah from Colorado via I-80 through Wyoming. We loaded up the car with games, DVDs, snacks, etc. and had a pretty good trip.
But, of course inevitably in the middle of nowhere, the 4 year old needs to pee, so we stopped at a truck stop (the nearest, cleanest (only) one we could find... which of course was NOT very clean) I, being the germophobe mommy, had brought along some of those big adhesive toilet seat covers, and our son's favorite little step stool so he would have something put his feet up on (instead of hopping up on the toilet and balancing). I was so proud of myself, I kept him clean and didn't have to touch the big nasty trucker stop "one holer" (yes, it was a unisex single-stall gas station bathroom... ). We washed our hands and headed out to the cashier to buy some gum for the next leg of the trip.
My husband is there, paying for the gas he's J. pumped, with my 2 year old daughter by his side. I looked down at her sweet face and in her mouth is a ......... Q-TIP!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!! At a truck stop?!?!?!?!
Where did that come from? Was it a clean one?? A USED one? Where the hell did she find it? (The floor, I suppose?) I was so disgusted! I grabbed it from her mouth and we ran to the car to rinse her mouth out. I think I actually used an anti-bacterial wipe in her mouth I was so freaked out!
Blech!!!!!!
