Here's an awesome story from Momma Kalynka in British Columbia shared with her permission. Mom quietly tidies kitchen and looks things up on the internet while toddler plays in the living room. That familiar sound of gentle grunting brings a smile to mom's face. He hasn't done one yet today. Good lad. Then the realization hits: He is without nappy. But all is still chill. Hardwood floors, no carpet, and healthy diet. a plastic bag and a wipe: easier than nappy bound! Then the realization hits: He had a cookie with dairy! Toddler hobbles into kitchen "boop!!!boop!!" Toes pointed to ceiling, indicating he has stepped in it. Still, no problem. Chill mama pick him up and plops him in the shower. "We got this covered," she says to him gently as she grabs toilet paper, heading casually to the living room. A little blob and a slight squirt. "No problem," she says to herself as she whisks it away to flush. "But why does it still smell so strongly?" Then she sees it: The cow pat sized, sour smelling crap in the corner of the room. Slightly less confident in her ability to stay chill, she heads to the kitchen. Behind the crunchy mom cleaners she reaches for the well hidden and heavily scented Windex, Latex gloves, A paper cup, and A shot of tequila. Unfortunately, she failed to grab the industrial face mask she uses for pottery. Scooping into the cup she dry heaves, and wets herself, gagging her way to the bathroom. En route she thinks about 'two girls, one cup' and gags some more. Trousers wet, toddler in shower, Windex smelling living room, questionable bag of crap covered cup on the porch. There is no where to turn but to the tequila, Facebook and chill. I hope you laughed as much as I did at this short, but very real story of what parenthood actually resembles from time to time!
We talk about some heavy stuff here on the Momma Trauma Blog, so I'm glad to be able to offer some humour which is also very much needed when working hard at healing ourselves.

Poor mama! I know how it feels. I had my fair share of gag-worthy poops with a 9 month old and morning sickness!
