Pineapple Chunks
I just wanted to let you all know that my youngest son has joined the ranks of kids who puke when they eat too much. Last night after the chicken, ravioli, pepperige farm goldfish, and creamie, the canned pineapple chunks his cousin Koltan shared with him finally pushed him over the edge. After puking into the sink, he said, "Koltan, I spit out yo food."

Wow--how did you get him to eat that much? Sam's Sunday dinner menu includes a roll. That's it. (Water doesn't count.) If he really wants dessert, I can sometimes get him to eat one bite of veggies, but heaven help us if I put more than one bite on his plate. I don't know what he survives on.
Mine must be growing or something. He pounds the food. He eats more than my 2 daughters combined.
I wasn't there last night while he was eating the creamie (I arrived just in time for the puke), but I guess his Uncle Sam (his real uncle, not the government) encouraged him to eat the creamie faster than is humanly possible, hoping for a headfreeze. He chowed the thing in record time, but disappointed his uncle and father--no headfreeze. The payoff came when he got to puke in front of all his cousins. "EEEEWWWWWW!" heh heh.
Excuse me, Lorien? Does your son speak Jive?
Heh. No, we just lost the ability to say "r"s sometime around December 1999. Wodney Wat is a hewo awound hewe.
Actually, Mr. Puke will get his 'r's quicker than the 2 girls I think, just not yet. Till then, jive away my boy.
I like the spelling of "Koltan." It reminds me of "Zoltar" which makes me smile. Way to go, parents of Zoltar-Koltan! Thanks for cheering me up today!
Lorien,
I have been waiting for a new blog from you for SO LONG!! Sorry about the puke though.
:-)
thanks bek. I feel like I've kind of been in the twilight zone lately. I know it was short, but it was a start anyway. I have another one I've been working on, but it's not ready yet. Hopefully it will be up soon. But I gotta do Halloween costumes, so, you know, priorities.
jen, I think I'll call him Zoltar from now on. Funny. He already thinks his aunt and uncle are wacky, so that will just add to the fun.
Lorien, what a fantastic likeness of you!!
Lorien: sorry I have nothing to say about pineapple chunks, but I had to comment on your new profile pic. It is great!
yeah, that's what I was referring to - the pic, not the chunks. ;)
What the? How'd that get there?
Hey, there I am again!
It's like reliving one of my worst nightmares--I too have cleaned up the pineapple puke before, UGH! I hate cleaning up puke (like anyone enjoys it?). It makes me want to hurl right back.
One time though I was at the end of my frayed rope--really I already was having the worst day of the worst week ever. Then my darling daughter threw up all over everything. Sofas, carpets, blankets, clean and folded laundry, you name it. Time slowed for a minute as I teetered on the edge of a total breakdown and obliteration. Then (I'm so proud of myself here...) I looked at her and said, C-A-L-M-L-Y, "Lindsay, you are the best thrower-upper EVER!" Then I fell to the ground in a fit of hysterical laughter.
Julie, have you tried this trick--put child portions on an adult plate. It looks like a lot less to eat and sometimes they will bite.
Turns out the disposal in a kitchen sink is a great way to clean up puke.
compulsive, I am very proud of you. A telling moment. I probably would have yelled and vomited right there on the spot. No, probably just yelled. My last real vomit was in September of 1990.
You actually REMEMBER when you last did the technicolor yawn? Wow! And my hat's off to you, compulsive, for seeing the positive in Lindsay's barfing. Good for you for laughing, too. One time I threw up as Alex was watching. His comment? "Wow, Mom! That was cool! Do it again!" Grrrrr.
Anonymous: I've tried the small portions on the big plate thing, but he won't touch anything he's decided looks yucky. I figure as long as he's growing and doesn't eat candy all day long (like his mother does), I won't worry too much.
Julie: I like that you call it a technicolor yawn. It made me laugh.
This post just makes me so excited to have kids! hahaha!
And I think it's wonderful that Guy and his family are introducing bulemia to young males. Females have cornered the market on binge and purge for far too long. It's high time we made some inroads on that one. I only wish I could have been there to see it.
Oh, and Jenny, your Airplane reference was great. I found the transcript to the whole movie online. http://www.awesomefilm.com/script/airplane.txt.
That was a great distraction from homework. Thanks y'all.
Poopin and Pukin. That's what we're about here at the Francis household.
Oh, and this is just great. I find out days later that I missed yet another of Jenny's clever movie references. Worse yet, my little brother pointed it out. Grrrr. Now I'll have to go watch Airplane. I don't think I've ever watched the whole thing. Yes, I know, practically blasphemous, but true. Hi, I'm Lorien and I'm lousy at remembering movie lines (and lousy at knowing many other important things in pop culture, too). Oh, well. I can sew really good Halloween costumes. Can't do it all, now can I?
But hey Lo:
1. You are the queen of Halloween (costumes, that it--the only thing of relevant importance after the candy and a veritable haunted house--not puffy pouffy blown-up decorations).
2. You have the entire dialogue of "O Brother Where Art Thou" memorized--not any easy feat, because it contains an awful lot of dialogue. And...
3. (Something my friend likes to remind me when I'm too hard on myself) You have given birth to four children!
There'll be lots of time for pop culture after the kids are all grown and gone.
I just realized that I spelled bulimia wrong. At least I caught it before my older sister. Score tally for this thread:
Dallas: 2
Lorien: 0.
Don't feel bad about the 0 though. I hear there were cultures that went for generations without incorporating the concept of 0 into their mathematical conception of the universe. You are light years ahead of them already!!
S'mo fo butter layin' to the bone. Jackin' me up tightly.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Cutty say he can't hang.
Oh stewardess, I speak jive...
I'm disappointed in you Lorien. It's a situation you need to remedy. It's not a movie to watch with the kids, F.Y.I.
Cut me some slak, Jack. Chump don wan no hep, chump don git no hep. Jive ass dude don got no brains anyhow.
I don't want FOP, damnit, I'm a Dapper Dan man!
Well, ain't this just a geographical oddity?
Well, ain't this just a geographical oddity?
You can say that again...
