You can tell from two rooms away, just by its sound, whether your two-year-old’s sneeze will require emergency attention from a tissue.

You catch your toddler’s vomit (or infant’s spit-up) with your bare hands to keep from having to clean it up off the floor/sofa/dressy outfit.
LOL! I wish I could say I’d never had to experience that one myself. I think for me the worst was catching it in my hands so it wouldn’t hit the table in a restaurant…the waitress stared at me in horror, then brought me…a napkin. ONE napkin! She must not have kids.
I’ve done both of the above AND I’ve used a bucket to bail bits of spit-up out of the bathtub so that I wouldn’t have to re-run the water.
