Cherished memories
Who of us parents haven't relished those wonderful memories of our children in the throes of vomiting. Well, I ain't one of them. This weekend, my 10 year old spent an entire night puking his toenails up. Poor little guy missed trick or treating and got less than an hour of sleep (as did I.) But these are memories we can pull out later as ammunition to use against them when they're older--like when they forget Mother's Day or when they try to move us into a nursing home. Like they say, every cloud has a silver lining.
