No worries - It's not the stomach flu!
I went grocery shopping today while my cousin Cherise watched the kids. I came home and saw that the empty prunes container was laying on top of the recycling bin because the bin was full. So I changed the bag and didn't think anything of it. Later in the evening I gave the kids a bath. Riley took the first bath and Ben hopped in with her. After she was done he decided to stay in and take a bath with Wyatt. I go in to wash up Wyatt. Just after I put the shampoo in his hair and he starts suddsing up his body Ben farts. Only he didn't just fart, he sharted. A brown cloud starts to form around him in the tub. Ben just looks at it and starts saying, "Ewwww". I pull Ben and Wyatt (with shampoo still in his hair) out of the tub. Ben starts whining and pointing to his butt. I yell to Riley to get me a diaper quick! We get the diaper on him and he seems happier. I put Wyatt's head over the tub and rinse his hair. Wyatt actually almost jumped back in the tub to get washed off. GROSS!
A few minutes later you can hear the water coming from Ben's back side. Riley starts busting out laughing so hard I thought she was going to wet herself. This happens another time or two and were finally done. I go to change his diaper and there is brown water flowing all over the place. He is laying on a towel on my bed and it is flowing off the towel and onto my blankets. The kids just think this is hysterical. I'm yelling at them so they can hear me over their laughter to get me a poop bag. Then I'm yelling again because one bag just wasn't enough.
As this is happening I think back to the empty container of prunes that prompted me to change the recycling bin. I wanted to make sure Ben didn't have the stomach flut so I text Cherise and ask, "How many prunes did Ben eat today?" She calls me back because as soon as she read it she's thinking, "I forgot to tell her about that with my crazy afternoon with the kids." Apparently she walked into the kitchen to find Ben's mouth so full of prunes that she wasn't sure how he was even chewing them. Then I told her that the container was probably 1/2 full and she just starts busting out laughing. That's some funny shit right there!
Don't worry Cherise - Someone once gave Riley the container of prunes to snack on when she was little and the same thing happened to her. Only when it hit Riley we had just got to my in-laws house and we were sitting at the kitchen table eating dinner.
