There are not many things that gross me out. Toddlers are gross little people, since I have 3 and since I am an RN, I have pretty much seen or heard about it all. But Jake is sure challenging this theory. He is one of those kids that puts everything, I mean EVERYTHING in his mouth.
I have tolerated the dirt, sand, rocks, wood chips, leaves and sticks. I looked the other way when he tasted cat food. I did not vomit when is grabbed the 'toy' out of the used toilet and I even held it together when I found a spider egg sack in his mouth but this was the last straw. I lost it. Just couldn't deal with this.
We were outside and he was sitting on the ground, quietly, really engrossed in something (should have been my first clue). Then I saw it, just as he was bringing it up to his mouth... a decapitated, disemboweled mouse (Damn, Cat!).
I totally FREAKED out! I shrieked at him (he looked at me like oh God what did I do?), grabbed him and ran into the house. Hot water on, antibacterial soap applied, and I scrubbed that boys hands until they were red (yes, he was crying but I did not care. Oh, and I found the head in his other hand.)
I feel a little better now that I have bathed him in Avagard but still I am little grossed out. *shiver*

Oh, oh...I, oh...just, don't...oh, excuse me, gotta run....
Oh, that is too gross. I am totally with you there.
That poor baby, he probably didn't know what to think.
Yuck!
Oh I am extremely grossed out here. I am right there with you with a kid who puts EVERYTHING in her mouth. But Jen - you absolutely win on this one!
Poor Jake. Poor you!
And with good reason. The dry heaving has made its way all the way to Australia. That is the worst.
But I thought you said "just as he was bringing it up OUT OF his mouth" and that would have been the last straw. Truly.
Okay-my youngest has been the worst of my 3 about putting stuff in his mouth. Nasty gross stuff! And he's sick, again, this week. And for 3 days now I've been writing in my head my blog post about all the gross things he puts in his mouth and how it contributes to his constant illness. But this blows mine totally out of the water! We at least don't eat decapitated mice at our house. Lick the bottoms of shoes, yes. But mice, NO!!!! YUCK!!! You win!
I agree with Nicole! You win! My Wild Child has sampled the public toilet water when there was a viral menegitis outbrake in the area. Still Jake takes the cake.
Please forgive me.... I cannot stop laughing.... so.... funny....
I WOULD have vomited at the spider egg sac. You have a stomach of iron.
Yep! You definitly have a stronger stomach than me! I would have gone mad with the sticks and dirt...and spider egg sack....YUCK! Poor little guy...that's how they learn...and we do too!
OMG!!! I was grossed out at the spider egg sac! EEEWWWW!!! A MOUSE?!?!?! I would have totally FREAKED out, too.
Oh Jen, I would have FREAKED out. Thank God you saw that before it happened....seriously.
Oh My Word! I thought it was bad when my child found the cat poop and started playing hockey with it on my living room rug, but this. takes. the. cake!
KEEP BELIEVING
Holy Crap, you had me at the spider egg sac, till I read further down!
eeeewwwwww I would be grossed out too. the spider egg one thing a mouse another I'm right there with you thank goodness Liam just liked wood!
There just aren't words....
OMG, that is disgusting. Ewww! Ewww! Ewww!
I hope none of you get the plague.
Do you read John Deere mom? Her daughter dropped her gum on the walmart bathroom floor and put it back in her mouth. And then a while later, was tired of the gum, so mom popped it in her mouth - forgetting about the bathroom floor. I'm not sure which of you wins in the gross department :-)
And for years and years, I've said that Freud would have a field day with my girls - who even at 10 and 7, still put everything in their mouths...
oh.my.gosh.
Sick, dude. No joke? You know, we had a dead mouse in our basement a few weeks ago. I thank God I didn't take Moose downstairs to do laundry with me. He would have done the EXACT same thing. Everything goes in his mouth....
Oh my God!!!! I would have freaked out!!!!!!! Can you soak them in alchohol? YUUUUUUUUUCKKKKK!!!
Ok, you had my attention at spider egg sack. Wow. That is a problem. We have NOT taken it for granted that Tristan was never one to put stuff in his mouth. You make me even happier about that. A mouse too? Wow. I forget, how old is Jake. I am sure he will grow out of it.
"TOddlers are gross little people"
Okay, totally choked on my coffee at this statement!
And yeah, I would've lost it at the spider sac!
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
I am so glad that I haven't had lunch yet today. I think I might have lost it right at the words spider egg sack. Oh man just typing that made me feel queasy.
Oh no! You have one of these too?!? I'm so sorry!
My two year old once found bunny poop and proceeded to eat it .. and I've found dog toenails in both my girls' mouths. Ugghhhhh!
Thank God you grabbed him before it was to late!
Ew ew ew! That IS gross!
my little sister once put something in her mouth and just as my mom when to grab it she bit down. black greasy juice ran down her chin. it was a huge spider. my mom still can't talk about it :)
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
SO.ABSOLUTELY.DISGUSTING!!!
Ewww! I thought spider sac was the worse thing you could put into your mouth. That is, until you said decapitated rat! SO disgusting!!!
Thanks for visiting me yesterday!
Wow! You have a stomach of steel! Not to mention your hands full keeping an eye on that busy guy! I'm now feeling that I should keep a better eye on my 12 month old because he's got that oral fixation too but we haven't moved past grass and dirt...yet...
