Public Health Warning

Every day thousands of mothers and caretakers become violently ill from something completely preventable. It lurks in your homes and in your minivans and can be found disturbingly close to your precious babies' heads.

Filthy. Crusty. Flaky. Baby Barf.

All over the carpet, puddled in the bottom of the car seat, dripped through the slit for the shoulder straps and fossilized onto the foam pad trying desperately to cushion that sweet head.

Please, for the sake of your stomach contents and the health of your child, remove that car seat cover and throw it in the washing machine.

You'll be glad you did when you see the bright colors of the cover return and you will rest easier knowing that there are no more micro-organisms lurking beneath that precious child.

I thought you were gonna say boogers. Boogers are one thing that I cannot deal with, especially when it comes from a kid I babysit rather than my own. He actually got mad at me today b/c I told him to keep his fingers away from his nose. You should have seen the fury in his face! I'm applying for other jobs that don't involve other people's children.
