I realize that there are "gross" requirements for parents, but somehow it feels like I'm not doing this the right way when my kid, when asked to take a spoon full of cough medicine, throws up because it tastes so bad, and then I'm expected to stick my hand into a warm pile of puke to get that cleaned up. One of these things is actually super gross, and it's not a spoon of medicine.
Sorry for the rant. Now I've got to go wash my hands again.
