just in case this happens to you

If your child throws up in your car and your hubby volunteers to clean it up (don't assume he is being nice, he is just paying dues since you have been cleaning up all fowl human stuff for at least two weeks). Be sure to remind him to use some sort of cleaner on the "spot" so your car won't reek intensely when you have to drive with the windows down in thirty degree weather the next day as you drive baby poop samples to the hospital lab to be tested because your baby has been having diarrhea for about two weeks straight. Be sure to take your "sicky" bucket in the car since child-who-couldn't-make-it-home-to-throw-up has to stay home from school and must accompany you to hospital lab. You might want to physically hand hubby the paper towels and cleaner bottle, because he might assume that plain water and bath towels (that you have to wash later) will do the trick. Just in case this ever happens to you, now you will be prepared. You can thank me later, although I hope you don't have to.
