It would be funny if it happened to someone else!
It's official, as of this past Monday I am a true blue teacher. No, I didn't get my teaching certificate. No I didn't take some special course. I am officially a teacher because one of my students, who shall remain nameless in case his parents ever google me, threw up on me.
Yes, throw up - on my pants. The entire school got to see his breakfast since he decided to lose it during Chapel.
I really did feel bad for the boy, but I also was so grossed out. Fortunately for all of us my stomach was empty, so that when I started gagging in response nothing came out. I took care of my student, another teacher took my class back to the classroom, and then I calmly went to the bathroom and did the best I could to get the remains of his breakfast off of my pants. All day I kept thinking "there's dried vomit on my pants, this is so gross, I just want to go home."
Needless to say, the minute I got home those pants went in the wash, and went through twice!

Been there. Kids are gross, but I've seen a lot worse. You'll laugh about it later, probably even use it to teach next year's class about warning you if they feel sick that day. It will make a great anecdote in your old age. Laugh! It could've been much worse. I've had to clean up stuff that came out the other end.
Okay, this is the last time I'm checking your blog while on my lunch break! GROSS!!! LOL
Yo Meg Boutwell,
I see that you post now, and funny stuff to boot. That is awesomely disgusting. You rock. I was just thinking about you yesterday while showing someone my wedding pics.
Keep up the posting! You are hilarious!
later,
Em Monty
