One of the few things that can interfere with the enjoyment of a chocolate chunk/chocolate cookie dough/chocolate ice cream Blizzard from Dairy Queen is a child vomiting in the backseat of the car while you are eating it. I know this from unfortunate personal experience.
Of course, Daddy was too impatient to wait for the extra napkins I requested before we left the drive through so clean up at 45 mph was a challenge. To be honest, though, a handful of napkins would have made only a laughable dent in the river of orange icee, chicken nuggets, and unidentified goo that splattered all over the backseat. I actually handed my son my cotton jacket to dry himself off. That worked OK until he puked on the jacket.
Vomit and carseats are an unpleasant match. So many nooks and crannies... Despite washing the fabric part in the washing machine, scrubbing the straps (hubby did that part though, with water and a paper towel; I'm thinking that might have been just a little half-assed), and spraying the whole thing down with Febreeze, it still stinks. Now it just stinks like flowery puke.
I live in Florida where, although it's winter, it's still pretty damn hot, especially in a closed up car sitting in the sun all day. How bad do you think my car is going to stink? And for how long?
Good thing that Blizzard was worth it.
Edited to add: My son just woke up with a nightmare. I rocked him for a minute and as I was putting him back in bed he said, in that sleepy, slightly confused voice, "Did you wash my carseat and my clothes?" I said "Yes," and he said, "I'm sorry I threw up on them, Mama." GUH! He can be so sweet sometimes.
