In Case You Didn't Know

If there is one universal truth of parenting, it is this: kids are disgusting.

Kids do disgusting things, and 75% of the time those things will happen at the dinner table before you've finished your own dinner. You'll witness your kid sneeze a huge gob of snot onto his plate. Or slobber half-chewed food down his chin and all over his shirt. Or he'll vomit all over the table. Or have diarrhea out the legs of his shorts.

Yes, you will witness all of those things as a parent. At the dinner table.

You think it won't happen to you. But it will.

And you know what? You'll clean up that disgusting, foul smelling, chunky, slimey mess. And then you will finish every last bite of your dinner. Because you're hungry. And because that's what parents do. They clean up shit in the middle of dinner and then go back to eating as if nothing ever happened.
