my job most certainly requires a fairly strong stomache, as bodily fluids are ever present and usually must be taken care of by my own hands.
but on this day, i witnessed the most disgusting thing in all of my years in childcare
today, one child was in a pull-up for the first time
so of course she was excited about the freedom
so i called her to the bathroom at changing time.
as i was putting on some gloves, i heard another child say "eww"
two and three year olds rarely say "eww" so i knew it was going to be bad.
i turned to see the little girl pull down her pull up which was full of some nasty poo
i said ooh its ok just it happens,
held my breath and frantically looked for the nearest cleaning supplies.
some poo got on her hand.
she looked at the poo, she looked at me
her eyes were curious and scared
she put her hand in her mouth, poo and all.
the horror on her face after tasting the poo was like nothing ive ever seen.
im sure my face wasnt much different than hers.
