Today at playgroup, I was holding my friend’s 3-month-old, and he spit up all over my sweater and pants. (Yes, she also has a son Falco’s age, and yes, the idea of having a 2-year-old and 3-month-old sounds terribly frightening.) Now I’m trying to make a judgment call of whether or not I need to wash the sweater because it takes forever to dry. (I just washed it and finally got to wear it today after two days of drying.) Only a mother would be torn about this. If an adult vomited on me, I would at least wash the clothes if not destroy them. After having a baby who spit up on me and his surroundings for months and months, a little infant puke on my sweater seems like no big. I hope this means that I have grown as a person, but I do think I’d better wash the sweater.
