Outer Shells & Puke Smells

The other day while sitting in the doctor's office, my baby puked on me. Initially I didn't know what happened, only a sudden warm patch on my arm. I was looking at another father and he was looking at me probably wondering how long it would take me to recognize my baby had puked on me and it was running down my arm. I caught on quick. I ran to the bathroom and set the baby down on clean towels and proceeded to clean my coat. This is the key; you see I had on my Mountain Hardware windbreaker. It is just a shell, but how it protected me. I simply wiped down my coat with soap and water and I was refreshed as if never having been puked on. Try that all you fleece lovers.
So for everyday protection against the rigors of baby puke, wear the outer shell and feel confident that you will always be a wet cloth or paper towel away from still being cool.

And yes, all onesees should have hoods. How about detachable skull caps?

Enjoy.

Kids make messes just like dogs. Dog owners are now required to carry bags for the dog cr@p. How about Dads carry baby puke rags. Create an attachment that fits on the bottom of a bottle, and you can pull wipes out from it.

That or pay more attention to your kid.
