Another story
Yesterday, as Kellen was quietly sitting in church, he reached over and handed me something. You can probably guess that he had emptied one of his nostrils and I was the lucky recipient of the contents. Now, this grossed Josh out but I just reached for a Kleenex and was thankful that Kellen did not eat my "present." Does that mean you're jaded as a mom when any kind of bodily effluvia (I hope that's the right word. Let me know, English teacher.) ceases to disgust/surprise you?

You are such a great story-teller!
I say that makes you a great mommy! that is funny!!
ps-- I have never heard the word "efluvia" (and I actually may have just misspelled it and I am too lazy to hit the back button and check) so I am no help there... sounds smart, though!
That is just part of being a good mom. Joey is the same way. The other day Josey threw up in church and my first reaction was to stick out my hand and catch it, and I did. Once I caught it I could not do anything with it, and most of it did splatter on the floor so I just let the rest of it go. That way I could clean up everything at the same time. So glamorous!
I find it hard to believe that a person who spends most of his time with high school boys was grossed out by a little effluvia.
Yes effluvia is right. I'm assuming you were referring to me as the English teacher, but I just looked it up in a dictionary, which any layperson can do.
Wow, buggers are gross. So is throw up. Avoid both at all costs.
I have Elle just wipe hers on the pew.
. . . problem with wiping effluvia on the pew is that you have to find space around all that gross gum that kids have deposited over the centuries.
