Moms and Their Delightfully Disgusting Moments
Today, I found myself picking a booger that didn’t belong to me. As odd as it sounds, it felt instinctive, almost as if I had been destined to do just that. There it was, perched on my daughter’s nose like it owned the place, and without a second thought, I used my fingers to flick it away into the dirt. How dare it hitch a ride on my child’s face! Perhaps a nearby bird would collect it for its nest—after all, boogers are surprisingly flexible and would make for a sturdy abode. Talk about recycling!
Witnesses were nearby as I executed my booger-removal mission, but honestly, I didn’t bat an eyelash. We just continued our conversation as if nothing unusual was happening. This is the reality of motherhood—it can be downright gross, and yes, I’m guilty of it.
Using our own spit to clean our kids isn’t exactly hygienic. But how many of us have found ourselves saying, “Oh, you used a marker, sweetie? Let me just lick my finger and wipe that off your face”? It’s like reverting to primal instincts.
Ever had that moment while changing a diaper when the smell hits you, and you feel compelled to get up close and personal to confirm your suspicions? You ask your little one if they need a change, and they confidently say no, yet somehow you find yourself leaning in for a whiff. Why do we put ourselves through this? One wrong move, and you could be inhaling a fart like it’s a fine wine.
If only my boss could see me now. Maybe I should add “expert in identifying unpleasant odors” to my resume. Yes, I sniff poop regularly because that’s totally normal, right?
While these moments might seem repulsive to outsiders, as a mom, you grow accustomed to the icky aspects of parenthood. It’s a survival tactic; sometimes you just have to dive into the mess and embrace it.
